entry description
I first met mongolian eagle huntress Aisholpan in 2014 before she was "discovered" by Hollywood and became the heroine in the documentary film, "The Eagle Huntress." It was that year, at the age of 13, that she became the youngest winner of the region's annual Golden Eagle Festival and Mongolia's first female competitor. I returned in 2017 to again photograph the ever humble huntress with her hand-raised eagle, "White Feathers."about the photographer
