National Geographic photographer Eric Valli typically pays his bills by working for the likes of Hermes and
Vuitton. But the most stunning photos he’s taken are far from the
mainstream. In a series called ‘Off the Grid’, Valli documented
individuals around the world that are living in the wilderness and
out of the system. From a group of autonomous nomads to a lone hermit
immersed in a forest, Valli has captured a world that some of us
might dream of, but don’t dare to live in (just yet).
Eric Valli takes amazing pictures of
outcast and autonomous people disconnected from the system. His job
has taken him around to some of the world’s most remote places
giving him the opportunity to peek into the lives of different
communities around Thailand, Tibet, Nepal and the US. He documents
the way people still live; a life without technology, fashion,
supermarkets, Facebook, brands or logos.
These people have resigned from
modernity and now live a frugal, lighter life, choosing not to be a
part of problem anymore. Rather, they hunt or grow their own food to
survive.
We are not sure if these beautiful
images are staged or not, but what matters is that they hint at how
people can live in complete harmony with nature, leaving everything
else behind.
