Valerian Mazataud is publishing a new photo book.
Liwa Mairin is a documentary folk tale based on the legend of the Miskito mermaid, an aboriginal nation from the Honduran jungle where men earn a living by scuba-diving fishing.
A former scuba instructor, and now Montreal based photojournalist, Mazataud spent several weeks in the area and published various stories about the Miskito divers. This book is a new point of view on my documentary images. The narrative is more inspired by folk tales or poetry than reportage.
The book can be bought here until May 18th:
