Through the unknown Tashkurgan unveils an unworldly world I discovered on the Pamir Plateau. at China's west gate in the eastern part of the Pamirs on the "roof of the world" is the Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang . The Tajiks reside in relative isolation in the snow-capped Pamir Mountain range of West China near the borders of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan. There are about 41,000 Tajiks living in Tashkurgan, These peoples live in harmony and with intimacy born out of mutual trust and love. From 2009 until now, I was stayed for several month photographing the tajiks nomad, using a large-format digital camera Hasselblad and Profoto lighting. I was able to arrange an old pickup truck and a Tajiks driver . He and me traveled this sparsely populated landscape searching for the Tajiks nomad,staying with the families we encountered along the way.
