The Shepherd of the Gürbetal

Daniel Rihs

The man who roams the Gürbe Valley with his 800 sheep in winter has caught my eye from time to time. I was therefore delighted to be commissioned by SchweizerLandliebe to do a report on him. Technically, the photos are kept simple: DSLR cameras, mostly with prime lenses, no flash.
