Tengri Burgut (2006)
Matthieu Paley
Only female eagles are used for hunting in Mongolia, as they are stronger and have more endurance. Here the eagle circles while observing its prey. Hunting normally commences in the autumn and continues through the cold winter months when the prey is more easily visible to the circling eagles.
Matthieu Paley has travelled all over the world on assignment for National Geographic magazine. Focusing his efforts on regions that are misrepresented, he is especially committed to issues relating to diminishing cultures and to the environment.
The recipient of numerous awards, Matthieu has published several books of his work and his fine art images have been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide.
