EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional tobacco farming in the Santiago region of the Dominican Republic, located in the vibrant Hispaniola island within the West Indies. In this contemporary image, two hardworking men are seen standing outside, meticulously preparing tobacco leaves for drying. Their toiling hands showcase their dedication to this age-old industry that has shaped their livelihoods. The rich colors of the farm and its surroundings add depth to this vertical composition, while emphasizing the rural location where this labor-intensive process takes place. Both men, aged between 25 and 30 years old and belonging to Afro-Caribbean ethnicity, look directly at the camera with a sense of pride and resilience. Tobacco holds great significance in Dominican culture as it is not only a major agricultural product but also an integral part of their history and identity. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the physical work involved in tobacco production and its cultural importance. Through Bruno Barbier's lens, we are transported into a world where time-honored traditions meet contemporary practices. This evocative image serves as a visual testament to the tireless efforts put forth by these individuals who contribute to sustaining an industry deeply rooted in Dominican society.
