In the bedroom
This gypsy camp is located near the Tirana train station in Albania. The Gypsy population that populates this camp comes from the ethnic group "Indi", a group of migrants, so the houses, used for a short period, are modest. This portfolio is part of a larger work on life in the field. For this I have to thank all the community of the camp that has welcomed me inside with so much humanity allowing me even to make their portraits in the bedroom, the most intimate environment of their home.
