Du bist es Leetschi

This portrait series was taken in the rural part of Switzerland – in Lötschental Valley. People and local character have been shaped by the superb natural surroundings and the history which was influenced primarily by the valley’s former isolation. Lötschental is widely known as a place with living traditions and rich cultural background. It seems, that this valley has a huge reservoir of the true originals, many of them rough and headstrong types.
