Photographing Peru's Last-Remaining Incas
Regular *Traveler * contributors Andrea Gentl and Martin Hyers led an intensive photography workshop in the Peruvian Andes last spring, marking a new wave of creative entrepreneurs—in the design, food, and maker worlds—who are leveraging Instagram to launch real-life skill immersions in distant places. How the couple landed on the remote Andes as the location for their inaugural workshop can also be traced to the social media platform, where Gentl first encountered Hannah Rae Porst and her arresting images of the Q’eros Nation, the roughly 2,000 Incas living in the isolated, high-altitude Andes. “The Q’eros people are known as the wisdom-keepers of the Andes,” Porst says. Here, Gentl & Hyers follow the Q’eros traditions of farming, herding, music, and spirituality.
