A beautiful, rare title by the well-known Latvian portrait photographer Inta Ruka. For several decades, Inta Ruka has been portraying her compatriots in rural regions, resulting in the extensive photo series “My Country People,” a piece of contemporary history and a nuanced portrait of society, comparable in its systematic approach to the work of August Sander, Stefan Moses, Dorothea Lange, or Walker Evans.
