Little known or caricatured beyond recognition, the Basque country is larger than generally supposed, with landscapes of astonishing variety, many of them sharply contrasted with one another.

From the arid desert of the Bardenas to the gentle valleys of the Soule, from industrial Bilbao to the elegant resort of San Sebastian, these portraits record a series of chance encounters made during a journey through seven provinces straddling the frontier between Spain and France.

The double perception afforded through the use of both text and images gives a clearer insight into the lives of the subjects, seen here in the context of their working lives.
