"In his debut photo volume 'We Were Born Before the Wind' portuguese photographer Henri PRESTES examines the solitude and melancholy in the mysterious landscape of Portugal.
The photographs he took of his hometown, roaming in the dark through small villages, mountains and desolate fields during the colder months of the year, create cinematic and intriguing scenes - there’s something ominous but also calming about the quietest hours captured by Prestes."
