EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a worker mining for salt at the Salineras de Maras, located in the breathtaking Maras Salt Flats within Peru's Sacred Valley. The image showcases a single worker engaged in this ancient practice, providing a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this region. The photograph beautifully portrays the worker from a side view, emphasizing their full-length figure as they carry out their laborious task. The intricate pattern of terraced fields surrounding them adds to the visual appeal, showcasing both the ingenuity of Inca engineering and the timeless beauty of these man-made structures. As we look down from above with a high angle view, we are reminded of how water plays an integral role in this industry. The ponds that dot the landscape serve as natural sources for salt extraction, creating an awe-inspiring sight that has been part of Peruvian culture for centuries. With its vibrant colors and stunning composition, this image transports us to a place where tradition meets nature's wonders. It encapsulates not only Peru's historical significance but also its status as a must-visit tourist destination. Through Laura Grier/Robert Harding's lens, we are granted access to experience firsthand what makes South America so enchanting – its rich tapestry of history and culture that is uniquely Peruvian.
