    Ha, I know you have to shorten the headline for HN, but you probably should either squeeze in "photographer", or change "capturing" to "Photographing".

      At least the title didn't use "shooting".

    I haven't seen the book yet, but judging by the promotional pics in the article it's neat how many of the objects they chose to be photographed with are things they do rather than just things are currently infatuated with. I like this a lot.

      Looking at their expressions, they might as well have been captured...

    Did they meaningfully object to being captured?

    These photos appear truly weird through western eyes. But they aren’t unlike so many other anthropological photo series that we saw in the past in photo-heavy magazines like National Geographic. There’s something about making someone pose who may not have enough power to say ‘no’ that makes this odd.
