I am based in Heroldsbach, Germany. That’s a small village which lies on the edge of the so-called Karpfenland, a natural landscape transformed by man for pond farming. Until 2013, this cultural landscape was utterly unknown to me. Today it has become my home. Yet one question nags on me: “Who shapes whom more:...

As we walked back through the village, I stopped an old man to ask if I could shoot his portrait, and when he very abruptly declined she said, you should meet Faye…… Fourteen month...
