Chris Packham

Chris Packham Instagram – Woman and child , Peterkun village , Sumatra . Canon 5D SR , 70-200mm F4 . It’s one track that runs to where the jungle was and where an illegal gold mine is . In 2000 a family group of Orang Rimba came here to trade . They had begun to harvest valuable Ratan fruits from the forest and sold them . With no bank for their cash they bought gold jewellery and their entry into commercial trade and non functional trinkets was their undoing . They were robbed and murdered by three men from a nearby village . But was the girl one of the dead ? I visited the graves and spoke to the men who found the bodies . ‘Chris Packham : In Search of the Lost Girl’ is on BBC2 Sunday 28th at 9pm . #portrait #photography #photooftheday #canon #canonphotography #canonuk #sumatra #palmoil #palmoilfree | Posted on 23/Jan/2018 14:27:51
