yolk as a substitute for a nail polish find out how that works and later on in the show. hello and welcome to the special edition of your own max with me your host meghan lee today we are focusing on the world of photography here's a look at what else is coming up. how brendan berry from britain makes cameras from unusual materials. they print spaces through the lens of french photographer t. for farming me. but 1st we kick off this special edition with a swiss landscape for tar 1st stuff on for star who heads out into nature sometimes for weeks on end to get the perfect shot he uses both his camera and
1:03 am
a drone to capture images of pristine landscapes without trying to optimize them with filters now while many of the places are recognizable 1st star tries to keep some of the location secret here's why. images of iceland greenland and the faroe islands taken from a drone. by photographer and camera man stefan foster he sets out to capture nature's finest moments. of modern art in my images and film productions trying to show people the world the way it was before humans can't fault them and how it will be after. and the way it should actually stay with human this is for me very very important for you to show nature completely on our blemished to talk to you for i can almost.
1:04 am
the northern lights over icebergs in southern greenland. flamingos after a storm in the highlands of chile. foster spends about 7 months a year on photo safaris. i was a bit misty lied to far when people ask me how to make a beautiful landscape photo or create a great atmosphere my answer is always the same goals and more often you come to a place the better you get to know it and the better your chances are of being able to capture that special picture and that's the civic me place of the small names who can. define fausta on a hike near his hometown vienna in eastern switzerland to him experiencing nature means sense of himself as part of it something that fascinated him even as a boy. thank you the man chucking all 12 to it i think everyone has some place where they're totally happy. for me that place begins when the door closes behind
1:05 am
and i can walk out into the works like useless at some point the words were replaced by iceland i actually started walking across a day and only took my camera along to record my memories of just how cuts how i got started with photography irish mail it's more a by product of my love for nature. it's who i'm up to all. the renowned photographer who strives to reveal the beauty of the world around unadulterated if possible he may use filters on occasion and process his images but he refuses to manipulate the colors. the rocky mountains in canada. and back to iceland again in particular devon fossa is attracted to the rugged landscapes of the high north he returns to them again and again. he's devoted an entire photo book to the region nordic islands with images from
1:06 am
over 80 trips to greenland norway the faroes and of course iceland. he selected 160 images out of some 600004 the volume not in easy task. for me she stressed me still shooting at this isn't the best part of the worst for me is that all since the best part is being outdoors. i've always been that way and i'm fairly unemotional i lock the door to my office and my studio and switch my cellphone to the light rose went on and then i look through all the shots bam bam bam bam look i don't spend much time evaluating them i'm be if an image doesn't jump out at me right away it's gone up to spec. these days foster shoots
1:07 am
about 40 percent of his photos from a drone his aerial images appear in international documentaries the flying camera has the added advantage of not leaving any tracks on iceland's most for instance. if you know if you saw a flash it takes many of these lichens and losses in the north decades or even centuries to grow back and if i come along in my heavy hiking boots and 90 kilos of weight and walk on the course everything would get destroyed cellists a story of. the photographer knows all too well that in many places the pristine nature he's looking for no longer exists it's been altered and often endangered by human activity foster concedes his photos to appeal to our emotions is most mission to oppose the feelings they evoke don't have to only be positive off the air maybe
1:08 am
a little sadness and melancholy makes sense all things must pass and nature shows us that it's all too well. off and she doesn't foster explores yet untouched regions in search of film and photo motifs. many. keeps the exact location secret so as not to attract tourists. he considers that an obligation to show the beauty of our planet and how much he needs protecting. say cheese as you know and that is the typical phrase we use 1st smiling when taking a picture well british photographer brendan berry perhaps took this thing too literally he builds his own cameras using all kinds of materials but perhaps the most interesting and unique one is out of cheese but how good is the photo quality of a so-called cheese camera well that is something we had to see for ourselves.
1:09 am
cheese camera. telephone box camera and a camp a camera all built by british photographer brendan barry let's start with the cheese. granted very teaches photography in exeter in southwestern england. but he's more interested in the process than in the fact his themselves. his own cameras with all possible and impossible materials. today a camera made of cheese. one thing i like to do. is kind of play with people's preconceptions an understanding of what cameron is and what it can do. when you make a camera of a block of something that people don't usually expect they respond. to the camera
1:10 am
so obviously in a different way but also the pictures that you take with them. it's trying to easy to build the camera like this but it's not so easy on the net. a frame for the light sensitive paper is screwed to one side of the hunted up. and twisted into the you have assigned and one of. the light passes through the lens and hits the photographic paper which can then be developed. it works stressed out. after just 2 hours of slicing and placing the cheese cameras ready for times or session brendan berry users had arrived from digital itself. 3. the film or using is out right now they start making about 10 years ago i've kept my fridge since then which we're using today so the effects could be all over the place.
1:11 am
lego camera an accordion camera camera and so on then settle for. even converted an entire camp and equipped it with a darkroom. today brandon barry's taking his campaign camera for a little drive through the countryside. in the car. when i thought well if i can just be inside the camera i have a dark room inside as well i have on. and i could take my dog. car anywhere and sort of being in a source space which was the. everywhere else could be the. final preparations for a fashion shoot with his mobile x x l camera. light
1:12 am
is pouring through this lens and projecting the outside world inside upside down if i move this focal point. closer away from the. you see how different things come into focus. schools and place barry positions the model and they're ready to shoot tiny bit too right. so long for the moment. turning the lights off close the. kind of things a photographic paper. in the pitch. a time to sports. will make an exposure by opening and closing the. 3rd. he puts the pressure through the 1st inside the camp and does the rest outside. it's incredible it's really nice because something interesting is
1:13 am
incredible photographs. even a telephone box can become a camera and printer is already planning to repurpose many other objects to. owners of boats but camera one day. a double decker bus submarine because like leap using the periscope has a camera. so i think some of. his camera concepts may sound rather eccentric. but they do show a new perspective on photography. and they produce unbelievable images of. designing and building churches has probably always been one of the most challenging feats in architecture . is from france and a devoted churchgoer although not so much because he's religious he visits them as
1:14 am
a traveling for torah for and is always on the lookout for new motifs. for me it's definitely the architecture and the power of this modern architecture through the 20th century. they always have a central point of view and that the churches are always and team. so my goal is are just to create this sort of. feeling so that people can you know immerse themselves in the architecture. books were a seeks out modern churches around the world for his photo series sacred spaces. like notes for them to try in paris it's original it's different from anything you could have seen and also it has this visual impact with the difference of
1:15 am
materials with you know the wood the steel the lighting is very very interesting and ever it represents the. you know the workers of that era so it also has a very emotional. impact i think on the whole neighborhood. this perspective presents the architecture in the best possible light. and yeah you see in this one what's really beautiful is that the pillars are you know all aligned so you really want them to be you know popping out of the photo so in that way you know the architecture speaks for itself there is no destructions it's always the same the same angle and when you put them all you know next to each other they're all very different but you get a cohesive. shieling of you know all the different churches. tivo portrayed lives in paris he discovered his passion for modern churches 4 years
1:16 am
ago since then he's photographed 36 of them in europe and asia. the most difficult part is finding them. because. when you start the series basically you start from 0 and there is a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so it's it's mainly finding all the all the churches in the remote spaces so you would maybe never passed by and you would actually not imagine what this is like maybe offices but not really. maybe a museum of what this is no tour done to lavish to learn yon's a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris. to pose approach is always the same he looks around chooses a point of view and takes a single shot. that's it. at home he makes only minor
1:17 am
corrections to the image most of the work is already done. chemo is actually an interior designer and for him photography is just a hobby. yes his photo series have attracted attention around the globe. since 2015 probably has also been taking pictures of libraries around the world this photo series is his most famous work to date. it's a specific space that everybody understand you know libraries or churches everybody's been there at least once in their lives. and they were made for a specific reason and so what i really find interesting how these architects have you know created. you know these different buildings but with the same the same purpose. one of 4 years' favorite churches is notre dame did i sell it in paris he feels that the round concrete structure emanates
1:18 am
a sense of tranquility. i guess i'm a pretty cool guy i mean i like it when you when i'm alone in these spaces because you actually get to experience the architecture in a very different way you know. it's just for you it seems like it's been built just for you when you're there and you can witness it for however you perceive it. and the photos people can imagine themselves in in the picture. people point to his photos series sacred spaces a testament to faith in the power of modern architecture. when you take pictures of food you want to get people's mouths watering but one spanish for target for is targeting different emotions and her images make us look twice now they are collaterally compose works of art rich in color and whimsical
1:19 am
ideas well food still plays a key role in her work but not as you might expect. split up the word breakfast and this is what you might end up with. these images are from tessa donna goes photo series break fast. the spanish photographer takes foods an ordinary objects and uses them to produce extraordinary pictures. if you need any that last 3 woodstock used to describe my work on. particular basically said. of sort of. efforts result in sue real compositions like an egg being shocked with i mean ition. pancakes cooked with a knife and rather than a frying pan. today taking photos to advertise
1:20 am
a shopping mall in madrid as the campaign's creative director she's to produce for images that will grace posters and appear on social media. because photos have little in common with plastic food photography. provided the one day i'm ok sit up straight and show how much you like the shoe. that you'll go on i have in my picture you spoke of you know the food usually looks a little out of play nice as eve never seen it before in a way he asked. it out of round with his it's been taken out of context and they say it overtly staged. it for a while here we have a model i you know i know fashion and a campaign there that deals with if you don't put in a playful way. discovered her passion for photography and film while she was studying art in 2015 she founded her own agency she shoots commercials and produces
1:21 am
full 2 series for magazines. national colors and minimalist composition all her trademarks and food is her favorite subject sometimes eccentric sometimes provokingly state the biggest challenge is to make it look fresh and perfect. in minnesota where all for a photo of the perfect egg is one that shines yours as a nice color and isn't overcooked well. of course we edit the pictures later but in general the glossy and fuller the better. or just photographing the sandwich would be too simple instead. formed into nail polish because i'm usually stories are guaranteed to attract attention. and it's beneath us i guess plastic casing patches are a dime a dozen are the incidents one of them that is that you hear so a lot again that today everyone has
1:22 am
a smartphone and takes photos. so it's become harder to tell a funny story or set yourself apart from the crowd around. whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner so donna has photos will leave you hungry for more. when you think of the alps normally images of hiking or skiing come to mind when german for tara for stuff on head followed goes out into the mountains he's looking for something completely different he's fascinated by abandoned buildings or so-called last places his photos cannot save them from decay but at least he can preserve their memory. ruins in deserted places have always held a magical fascination for people. they make us wonder who once lived in them and what happened to them.
1:23 am
stephanie differently explores places like this with his friend felix who said in looks into their histories. of the superman perfect here you can clearly see the roof has caved in the windows are broken its essence of the planet or is crumbling from the walls all together it makes for some beautiful photos. tooth. built in the 1920 s. it served as a summer camp it's almost as if we can still hear the children laughing and playing who spent their summer vacations here until the late night 170 s. . if mr bowden i want my pictures to reflect what i feel when i enter places like these it's a little scary i get a queasy feeling or hearts pounding i get
1:24 am
a shot of adrenaline that's exactly this feeling i'd like to reproduce in light and shade i want people to see that in the photos. they shouldn't be evenly learned but rather have more atmosphere like in landscape photography shot discretional. carefully travels the world as a professional landscape photography for he brings back images like this one of the grand canyon and the jungles of hawaii many of his pictures have won awards he's widely recognized as one of the world's leading landscape photographers. heavily has been fascinated by abandoned houses since childhood he's published his discoveries in a book of photos. once splendid villas. first world war bunkers. hidden chapels.
1:25 am
and factories where no machine has operated for decades. and. he doesn't say exactly where he finds the abandoned buildings so they won't be overrun by visitors. also many of these buildings are in decay and hazardous and most are hard to reach. stephan heavily never works alone. so it's not as much as often it might spread to go in with someone even when i'm just photographing my landscapes if something were to happen or if someone broke afford to restrain the ankle it's safer but i'm lucky that it's never happened to me no major injuries but it's better to have a good pair along with able to help you.
1:26 am
finding motifs takes some effort and detective work one of her family's methods is to scan satellite photos on the internet. postings from here you can see the places abandoned doesn't even have a roof. it can be just that simple yet it is the norm it's harder you can browse certain blogs on the subject and you can find a lot so those that still have an attack groove center still nice on the inside and there's nothing more to see here or you happen to pass them by going to find something my chance. stephan had slaves photos document traces of civilization that time is gradually a race saying. his works are a kind of monument to abandoned place says. our that we come to the end of this special edition on the fascinating world of fred tiger fee but before we go just a quick reminder to follow us on social media or check out our website for more

up your own mind. welcome to global street alpha. mediæval beliefs in today's world in kyrgyzstan sons of prized possessions what about divorces. northern mexico was once home to the mexican gray wolf with a lot of help the creatures and now returning. but we start in the peruvian amazon and where there's gold to be found how can locals put
1:31 am
a stop to illegal gold mining. gold is the epitome of wealth and decadence and we have an age old fascination with it in ancient times it was prized for its beauty and constancy and it's held an allure for many people ever since in the 19th century of gold diggers headed to north america to seek their fortune. gold is still regarded as a highly commodity and a safe investment in periods of crisis the gold price always rises during the current pandemic its value has surged. that's attracted criminal gold diggers looking to make big bucks like in peru the world's 6th largest gold producer. the fight against illegal gold mining in peru is bringing out the big guns this special unit is on its way to raid gold mine is hidden deep in the jungle.
1:32 am
it's a mission fraught with danger they need few and they need lots of us. it's the start of a 3 day rate for park ranger vladimir ramirez and a platoon of soldiers. we're going to use small boats to travel the river to where the mine is. bringing elite soldiers with us but if i was there i might even that. ramirez is the director of the amazon reserve. on the way the group passes through military camp a year ago this was a come full of illegal mining. here in the intact jungle of the tumble part a reserve it's still pleasantly cool. but just to columbus his down the track the sun beats down on a scorched desert. it's a scene of massive environmental destruction without the military ramirez was able
1:33 am
to drive the criminals out of here a year ago. on this moonscape there were hundreds of gold mining machines operating. around 6000 illegal miners working just in this. this oil is contaminated with mercury which the mine is used to separate the precious metal from the rock. the park rangers have started reforestation another declaration of war against the gold mine is. then the 1st way station in the intact part of the time because the nature conservation area $2700.00 square is of staggering biodiversity. at 6 o'clock the next morning they're on with 10 elite soldiers from the navy without their protection ramirez could not possibly carry
1:34 am
out this raid risk you were in every time we find the gold mine. they recognize us and they've threatened me and my park rangers but these threats are not to be taken lightly and. from here on it gets tricky the money no ski river is gold digger territory on the back they see the 1st winding talents of the illegals. ramirez has been doing this job for 14 years but it's only one year since the government has given him a treat back up. the man in the headscarf is the state prosecutor he's allowed to rest mine is deep in the jungle. now there's a hot lead a man was spotted on the bank he quickly disappeared into the underbrush. the soldiers follow his trucks. and here they find a camp concealed in the forest clearly the criminals have left in
1:35 am
a hurry. that the soldiers destroy everything they can find food clothing to lose the government prosecutors disappointed that the criminals were able to flee. the market i'm so fucking to get off it's a mafia and the people in this camp work for the miners who are operating further along the river you know some of the images to get around this of this campus as a lookout for the gold miners the 71 them outside. the arrival of the team here is no longer a secret the gold mining syndicates has a radio communications network which provides warning as everything burns the soldiers are eager to keep moving. the state prosecutor has seen suspicious pale patches on satellite images of the jungle i hear and.
1:36 am
then they strike it lucky recently used mining again. the soldiers inspect the tower a minus clothes lie hastily abandon next to it. as i thought they suck the mud up with a strong pump out of a water hole there and they pump it up into the washing slows the gold particles get caught in a piece of carpet for most of the family. there's no trace of the motor that annoys ramirez because that's the only way they can really put the set up out of action permanently. a quick photo then onward through more and more of these gaping wounds in the rain forest. the water is full of highly toxic mercury is an ecosystem will take many years to recover and the illegal gold mining boom continues unabated. yes we the gold prices climbed around 40
1:37 am
percent since the pandemic began so obviously many people have joined the gold rush was furious i've got all. the destruction of the rain forest has been accelerating even more as the coronavirus crisis ramps up the gold fever the soldiers also know that in another hole they've discovered a powerful engine 4 kilograms of dynamite should do the trick. and is splitting explosion which the miners will have heard from their hiding places but they'll be back soon ramirez says and he will too to carry on the fight against them. and now we had from the amazon to the mountains of mexico home to the mexican wolf it's not easy to capture these shiny creatures on camera these here on loan animals
1:38 am
in an outdoor enclosure being prepared for a life in the wild having been driven out of their natural territory in the state of chihuahua it's time for el lobo as the wolves that called in mexico to make a return. christiane is calling out to the wolves about 35 mexican gray wolves or logos live in this area in the state of chihuahua. i gave that is involved in a project to reestablish and grow populations of the mexican wolf or canis lupus by lead to give it its scientific name they are shy creatures it's hard to spot any here in this yet are madly occidental mountain range which extends over almost $2000000.00 hectares. but says the evidence indicates some are nearby
1:39 am
one of. the where you have them over here we see several sets of footprints. look quite fresh. so the wolves could still be here this shows that they're alive and looking for food. checks one of the camera traps the photos confirm what he suspected. well crew for being here are a couple of young wolves there looking good healthy and behaving normally very. rare. this camera only takes still photos others record video aguilar is pleased these walls look well fed that's good news the mexican gray wolf is an endangered species. he
1:40 am
says the composition of their feces is also a good sign. you can see the hairs from the animal in a lovely mulkey communal. wild turkeys are among the animals lobo's hunt in the wild along with deer squirrels rats and peccaries. aguilar will examine samples of wool feces in the lab he says the hairs probably come from a deer or a peccary. so it looks like the wolves here have plenty to eat. but i'm in favor of backing off viable means the wolves 100 cattle and that should help resolve the conflict with the cattle ranchers.
1:41 am
ranchers and landowners had almost killed off the mexican wolf its natural habitat used to extend from the southern united states to southern mexico. dozens of organizations in the 2 countries have got together to reestablish populations in the wild robust animals with enough genetic diversity to be genetically viable. eduardo pay yun is one of the few ranchers around here who would welcome more wolves. he's even made his land available to the project to wolves will be released here in a few days' time. while his father used to hunt wolves he says the environment would benefit if they returned and took their rightful place in the ecosystem. they are an important link in the food chain.
1:42 am
the advantage for cattle ranchers would be that wolves would displace the coyotes they don't really belong in this ecosystem wolves are competition for them and would drive them away because wolves are the natural predators here on the ranch nor the preorders not put our lives there at the rate they're going to. wolves often leave remains of their prey behind providing food for scavengers species wolves also help maintain the health of the cattle because they tend to attack sick and weaken danimal. christiane regularly visits ranchers and tries to convince them of the advantages of having wolves in the area it's no easy task especially when wolves have been spotted within 200 meters as happened here. we live off our animals so we have to look after them
1:43 am
we have to protect ourselves from any predators that jeopardize our livelihood and that often means with guns which i love with this was a. good look at the latter tells ranchers that under certain conditions they will receive compensation if a wolf kills livestock he also points out that wolves don't normally like to have cattle for dinner while pumas and coyotes certainly do and they in turn tend to move away from areas where wolves live. at the when of this that they're called wildlife facility in the neighboring state of sonora 11 wolves are being prepared for their return to the wild. today's exercise hunting wild turkeys brought into the enclosure especially for the
1:44 am
purpose. veterinarian foster many times tries to observe the hunt from a distance. but on the ground but it will not work them we're hoping they'll come out. and evaluate their behavior and their hunting skills. these wolves are about to be released into the wild. and we want to stimulate their hunting instinct with life. to survive in the wild they have to be good hunters it's important that as the wolves hunt they can neither see nor smell people nearby. i'm looking for them but i can't see them and that's a good thing it means they've run away from us. the wolves shouldn't assume people will continue to provide them with food. they need to fend for themselves. and it looks like they already are to judge by these turkey remains
1:45 am
. back on pions ranch and sure well while the time has come to set 2 wolves free a male and a female. they leave their human carers and are now on their own they can join a perk or have pups and start one of their own. attitudes from the dark ages in 2021 the idea that women are less valuable the men not worthy of being alive femicide is the name given to the killing of women for being women a state of emergency has been declared in question rico after 60 such matters last year in countries anchored in traditional moral concepts where men are seen as as and providers and daughters as a burden of femicide often takes place in the womb. in india
1:46 am
almost 470000 female fetuses are aborted each year and those are only the official figures. this dreadful practice is common in kyrgyzstan too but some women are now fighting against. the difficult saga in the name means the long awaited son southern is a son after 4 daughters. well a son and a quiet family life that was all aamer yusupov all wanted her husband left her almost 5 years ago when she was pregnant with her 5th child the ultrasound scan showed it was going to be another girl to everyone's surprise she ended up giving birth to a boy. but her husband was already gone in kyrgyzstan having a son to carry on the family name is still an important tradition even during her 1st pregnancy with i get him who's 11 years old now husband pressured her to get an
1:47 am
abortion he saw these girls his own daughters as a burden. to. marry them off he kept saying. girls aren't people they just marry into other families anyway. i need an error i need a son that's what he said. and that's why we're separated. i always felt fine about having girls i never complained about it. no matter how many daughters i have i accepted daughters or sons their all my children. along with her 5 children and her parents. lives on the outskirts of the kyrgyz capital she can't work at the moment because she's taking care of her mother who has cancer the family lives off benefits that add up to around $130.00 euros
1:48 am
a month having 2 cows and a few chickens helps. supervisor is grateful for the life she leads even though things can be tough her husband had an alcohol problem and used to beat her. oh plus 10 he drank all the time every day. when i lived with my husband i was always afraid when evening came. i thought they were now come home drunk and it will start all over again i lived with those thoughts every day now i don't have them at night the kids and i calmly go to sleep and in the morning we get up. women and men have the same legal rights in kyrgyzstan they have since the soviet era but patriarchal tradition still determines life here for many even in the capital women usually keep having children until they give birth to at least one son and girls sometimes are given 1st names like enough names that show they were on wanted.
1:49 am
to see. him in the park i think around 60 or 70 percent of women here think that if they don't give birth to a boy they are somehow inadequate but you are under huge pressure. even before they start their own families women see the way their parents treat their brothers and how they react to the birth of a son. that makes women feel that it's absolutely necessary for them to have a son of their own. supervisor knows that pressure all too well she stayed with her husband for 10 years but she accepts those tough times as part of her fate as what god gave her. i love you know my life is good thank god i have my parents and my kids when my
1:50 am
kids are laughing and playing i feel happy too i'm happier now than i was with my husband i want my daughters to grow up to be conscientious and do the full and i want their husbands to be due to fall to i don't want my daughters to go through what i went through i want them to have a happier life and murder wants to start working as a seamstress again soon but her children are her priority a good education and most importantly a happy family that's what she hopes for for her son and her daughters. people without a roof over their heads are similarly in need of a protection around $700000.00 homeless people sleep rough in the e.u. every night europe might be a wealthy continents but there's considerable social inequality here it's particularly hard to be homeless in the winter when temperatures hit freezing and many migrants to suffer in the cold of winter living in camps with often inhumane
1:51 am
conditions proper warm clothing is in high demand. what's a fashion designer doing in the morea refugee camp. bus terminal is distributing what he calls a shell to suit 2 children with no proper roof over their heads. his original plan was to become a top designer and present his connections on the world's catwalks but now he's on a humanitarian mission helping those in order to keep. the shelters soup consists of a jacket sleeping bag and a duffel bag they're produced here in the form of most about factory and in the netherlands the idea came to after a personal tragedy. more. 7 years ago the father of 2 friends of mine died of hypothermia here on the streets of. everyone was so shocked and it really triggered something in me i designed
1:52 am
