Text from Jimmy Nelson's website:
"Every image I take is very meaningful to me, every image has a story. This particular image was shot in Bayan-Ölgii, Mongolia. Most pictures took three days to make because in the mornings there wasn't enough light. On the fourth morning, it was about -20 ℃ on top of the mountain and the light was beautiful. In the heat of the moment, I took off my gloves to take the photo and my fingers literally froze to the camera. I started to cry, and when I turned my head I saw that two women had followed us to the top of the mountain. One of them took my hands and cradled them in her jacket until I could feel my fingers again and was able to take the photographs. What I didn't know was that these women are actually strict Sunni Muslims, and broke all their codes of modesty in order to aid me. They had noticed my desperation and did what they could to help me. It was heart-warming and I will always remember this moment as something valuable."
Traditional Kazakh clothing is well adapted to their semi-nomadic lifestyle and extreme living conditions. Most items are made of hide, fur or felt from a large variety of animals, including rabbits, marmots and wolves. The iconic fur coats can be made of up to 18 fox pelts."
