The images are from an ongoing body of work entitled Workers and concentrate on capturing manual working environments within differing cultures. These particular photographs focus on the summer ski resort workers in the French Pyrenees. The men spend 5 months, or until the snow arrives, constructing snow cannons, creating new pistes and mending the existing runs ready for the ski season.
The work is tough, in all weathers and at altitude.
