One of these subseries — the “Balaclava” collection — show close-up views of residents wearing a traditional headgear with only their eyes visible to the camera. This series closely resonates with the explorations of power, access, and visibility explored in the panorama images. Southwood describes himself as an artist who “considers questions of power and privilege in relation to portraiture” and finds an important encounter in these images, wherein subjects choose to obscure their faces for his photograph. The portraits further echo the latent tension Southwood perceives in the dam. The strobe lighting sets the subjects apart from dim surroundings and creates a theatrical disconnect symbolic of the literal restriction to the dam. In some of the portraits the dam is visible, once again making reference to the reservoir as a “blank and distant water mass” and as a “perpetual backdrop.”\u003c\/span\u003e I undertook three trips to Lesotho before feeling comfortable photographing these young herders.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of every work day on the reservoir, I printed the portrait for each subject and handed it over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I go back to these villages now, the photos are clearly prized because they are thumbed and worn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eUnframed Archival inkjet on Hahnemuhle 300 gsm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eL \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e105 x 84 cm edition 4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eM 75 x 60 cm edition of 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eS 52 x 42 cm edition 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLiteboho Lelia, Lesotho, 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print, signed on Verso 1\/1 AP\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFramed with museum glass: 45 x 35cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchival inkjet print on 250 GSM Baryta Paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Southwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36866661613728,"sku":"Herder_[name]","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/1820\/2528\/products\/sou_framed_lesotho_20200907202009070014.jpg?v=1603531542"},{"product_id":"miner-on-the-road-to-pitseng-september-2015","title":"Miner on the Road to Pitseng, September, 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Masotho(Singular of Basotho) wears a traditional blanket and balaclava.
