Captured in Pampallacta in Peru, within a local farmer community, this photo immortalizes the alpaca blessing ceremony. I was deeply moved by the patriarch of the welcoming family, standing proudly in reverence to his tradition, particularly during this ancient ritual. The black and white composition, I believe, enhances the timeless essence of these traditions, making the shot a timeless representation of cultural heritage.
About Thibault:
As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes.
Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need.
Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects.
Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
