Photo by @rubensalgadoescudero // 'Oozie' Too Lei, poses for a portrait on his 11-year-old elephant Ba Lei Shu at a logging camp in Bago Division, Myanmar where some households have solar panels. Oozies, or elephant handlers have worked closely with elephants for logging since over 300 years. To most here, these beautiful creatures are loved and praised as a family member within these communities. In rural Myanmar, over 85% of the population lack access to electricity so solar light has the potential to improve lives overnight. Small, inexpensive photovoltaic power systems allow people to do more with their waking hours at no extra cost.
The long term project 'Solar Portraits in Myanmar' addresses the important issue of lack of access of electricity. It is a series of portraits depicting the lives of inhabitants of remote areas worldwide who, for the first time have access to electricity through the power of solar energy. Each subject was asked how solar light has affected their life. The portraits were set up according to what they expressed. All scenes have been lit only by solar powered light which are contributing to the improvement in people´s standard of living.
