Sámi, The People, by Erika Larsen

I love the colors in Erika Larsen’s photographs of the nomadic reindeer-herding Sámi people of northern Scandinavia, which manage to seem at once pale and deeply saturated, capturing, perhaps, a special trick of the Arctic light and of the culture’s response to its possibilities. “Sunna & Laila,” from Sámi, The People photographs by Erika Larsen, women in photography, 16 July 2009
