Hungarian photographer Istvan Kerekes has spent the last 15 years documenting the shepherding communities that have farmed Transylvania for centuries. The area, in central Romania, lies between the Carpathian and Apuseni mountains. “When walking in some parts of Transylvania one would often feel that you have traveled back in time. There is hardly any sign of modern technology here. It is as if time had stopped, while beauty and nature are preserved”.
