Washing Dishes, Herding Reindeer

Photographer Erika Larsen worked as a housekeeper to fund her three-year-long photojournalism project of photographing Scandinavia’s Sami reindeer herders, the resulting images provide a stunning and intriguing insight into a very different way of life.

School children on excursion | Tranås, Sweden 2007. Canon 5D, EF 50mm f1.4 ABOUT THIS PROJECT Over the past 15 years, I’ve been lucky to have travelled to a multitude of places and met countless amazing people. This collectively has played a huge role in shaping my world view and making me the person I am today. What I’ve come to realise is that despite differences in our skin colour, language, socio-economic status, we are all united in our common humanity, that we by and large dream the same dreams and seek the same things in life: Love, security, friendship and a purpose to wake up in the morning. From the archives is a celebration of people, places and travel, and its limitless potential to open eyes and shape minds. From time to time, I will post a photograph I’ve taken from my archive of 43,000 photos from this period, with a brief description. Some photos are taken on film, some on digital, and I will include any camera equipment details if I have them. Please feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts!
