Photographer covered 25,000 km in Siberia to photograph its indigenous people

Russian photographer Alexander Himushin has been traveling the world for 9 years. During this time, he managed to visit 84 countries and understand that people are the most amazing part of this world. Therefore, after several years of traveling, the Russian came up with the photo project "World in Faces", the purpose of which is to pay tribute to the beauty and diversity of our planet with the help of portraits of ordinary people. Himushin is especially attracted to those remote places where authentic traditions and culture are still alive and strong.

For the past six months, the photographer has been making portraits of Siberians. This huge region is almost 2 times larger than Australia and 30% larger than the United States, Canada or the whole of Europe, as well as one of the last borders of the unknown world. We know that this is a very cold and rather sparsely populated place, but what do we know about people living in Siberia?

Alexander Himushin covered 25,000 km to visit remote areas of Siberia: from the shores of Lake Baikal to the coast of the Sea of Japan, from the endless steppes of Mongolia to the coldest place on earth - Yakutia. And all in order to capture the faces and traditions of various groups of indigenous peoples living there. Some of them are dominant in their regions, others are on the verge of extinction. All of them remain a big mystery to us.
