“It’s well past midnight, and this densely packed neighborhood is dead quiet. It’s one of the largest Christian cemeteries in Hong Kong,” says Yen. “In Hong Kong, land is scarce. When you’re alive, you live in tiny little pigeon holes. When you’re dead, it doesn’t get much better.” (Hong Kong, June 2014, Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III)

A girl with albinism, the genetic condition causing an absence of pigmentation in the skin, eyes and hair, stares up in curiosity. “This was the day of the opening of one of my exhibitions about albinos. It took place in the Ethnology Museum of Valencia. Most of the attendees were parents with albino kids, and the director of the museum allowed me to take a photographic tour with the kids around the museum rooms. This little girl watched everything with big interest,” says Yturralde. “Nearly all albinos are severely visually impaired so her world is often one of only shadow and light. In this dark room, full of bright lines and their strong reflections, she could better focus her eyes looked around in curiosity at what I was photographing.” (Valencia, Spain, March 2012, Canon EOS 5D Mark II)
