@complex: This photo series by Natasha Yankelevich features portraits of the Nenets, an indigenous nomadic people who herd millions of reindeer on the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic.⁠ ⁠ The photos document their traditional way of life, which is deeply intertwined with the reindeer and the harsh environment. The Nenets, an indigenous Arctic people, are known for their nomadic reindeer herding, and the festival is a rare chance for families to celebrate their traditions. Yankelevich’s portraits capture the resilience and individuality of the children/adults while reflecting the heritage of a community living in one of the world’s harshest climates.
