Andean State is an ongoing project documenting the lives of porters in the Peruvian Andes. This work focuses on the oppressed, marginalized, and largely silenced Andean men working as day labor human beasts of burden, transporting on their backs essential supplies like produce, furniture, appliances for local merchants and trekking gear and supplies for the "adventure" tourist trade across the Andean mountain range. These images are from “Porters” members of La Casa del Cargador, (House of the Porters) Gregorio Condori Mamani in Cusco, Peru. ​Andean State, Gelatin Silver Prints, 20"x30", 2024
