New Age Gypsy Photography

Photographer Iain McKell Brilliantly Captures a World Often Unexplored

— February 13, 2014 — Tech

These individuals are usually those working in the festival circuit, selling handmade goods and making money as performing artists. The idea of a gypsy is not a foreign concept, but modern day nomads choose to live self sustainably and completely independently. McKell’s photography captures different types of gypsy nomads, ranging from families to lone individuals. Iain McKell takes captivating fantasy-like images of a world often unexplored.
