★★★★★

“n the seven years since her first visit, Thomas has returned to Mongolia’s Altai Mountains countless times, deepening her connections with its dramatic landscape and the groups that populate it. Now, these images have been compiled in the photographer’s upcoming monograph […] The volume gathers photographs of hunters with eagles perched on their arms; herders tending to camels, cows, sheep, and horses; scenes of domestic life amid stunning mountain backdrops; and moments of resilience as seasons slowly shift.”
— Eva Baron

★★★★★

"Claire Thomas has photographed some of the most important stories of our times, from the refugee crisis in Europe to the battle against ISIS in Iraq, contributing her images to leading publications such as the New York Times, the Sunday Times and National Geographic. Her deep interest in humanity, and in particular people’s relationship with the natural word, has taken her time and again to western Mongolia, where she has built a body of work documenting the lives of Kazakh herders and eagle hunters."

★★★★★

"For Welsh photojournalist Claire Thomas, this northern region’s unique nomadic culture proved to be a veritable wellspring of astonishing encounters as she observed its 21st-century adaptations. [...] Altai: Hunters and Herders of Mongolia is a trove of intimate photographs chronicling Thomas’ immersion in this part of the world. She captures indelible features of the Kazakhs’ nomadic lifeway, experiencing everyday life in yurt-like homes called gers and participating in pastoral practices amid a vast grassland steppe, framed by rugged peaks."
—Kate Mothes
