Featured Source for October 2024: Roland and Sabrina Michaud

akg-images is proud to represent Roland and Sabrina Michaud.

In 1960, husband and wife Roland and Sabrina Michaud took a trip through Africa, photographing their journey and the people they met. It sparked a passion that would take them around the world to remote regions, accompanied by their son Romain, born in 1969. Their photography collection is a treasure-trove of remarkable images, captured with sensitivity and respectful curiosity.
