California-born and Dublin-based documentary photographer Nick St.Oegger has just brought out Kuçedra: Portraits of Life on Europe’s Last Wild River.
In it he explores the Vjosa river in Albania which free flows over the course of its 270km journey from Greece to Albania.
With everything from canyons to extensive wetlands on its route, it faces the imminent threat of hydropower development.
“It is important that the Vjosa is allowed to remain in its natural state, to preserve its biodiversity, and to allow the communities along its banks to remain,” says St Oegger about this project which was supported by Patagonia.
