MAtt Pickles, Faces of Tsaranoro (People 2021)

Images were taken in Tsaranoro, Madagascar whilst on a rock climbing trip to the area. Photos 1&2 show locals making mud bricks by hand; diverting the small river, stamping the earth to create the mud and using the mould to make each one, before being left to dry in the sun. Photo 3 shows a young girl looking after a small child whilst the men have a game of football in the background. Photo 4 shows a woman making the long journey home from the local store carrying all the essentials in a plastic bag balanced on her head.
