The photos are taken with natural light and just the tiniest bit of fill light; making the images look natural and superhuman at the same time. I think its so cool to honor these people; their talents and their culture.The book is done with a lot of respect without being patronizing. I love this book and Im so glad I stumbled upon it.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic book about traditional Oaxacan clothingBy Jeanette HeardI was thrilled to finally see this book. I had been following Eric Mindlings posts on facebook as he traveled through Oaxaca and photographed traditional clothing for a couple of years. It was worth the wait. The photographs are fantastic and evoke the people and land as well as documenting the clothing traditions. I have been to some of the areas on one of Erics Traditions Mexico tours and enjoyed seeing photographs from there as well as areas far more remote. The text is a wonderful background to the photographs. For anyone who loves Mexico; people; spinning; weaving;or traditional clothing; this book is worth having. I also have Erics book about pottery; Barro y Fuego; which treats the Mexican pottery tradition and people equally well.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What an incredibly beautiful book; and such a respectful celebration and tribute ...By Paul C.What an incredibly beautiful book; and such a respectful celebration and tribute to the people and places inside the land of Oaxaca. If you can find any connection to the history; the women; the textiles; the magic or the quiet ferocity inside these pages; I imagine youll be deeply touched. Absorbing these photos; I could not imagine picking a favorite. Eric Mindling has given us quite a gift.
