Manuela Richter, Children of Bhutan (Portrait (2019))

Bhutanese children have a very inquisitive mind and do not mind at all to be in front of the camera. Despite their ease and playfulness they also display so much depth – an engagement like no other. The cultural context is embedded throughout their daily lives and Buddhism plays a major part in their interactions.
