Guardian of the Land – Shepherd’s Pride

Captured during the event “Abruzzo on the Road with Leica and Stefano Schirato,” this striking black-and-white portrait portrays a shepherd standing tall against the dramatic backdrop of the Abruzzo countryside. With a weathered staff in hand and sunlight highlighting his rugged features, he embodies the enduring strength and quiet dignity of those who live in harmony with nature. The towering trees and rolling clouds further frame this timeless connection between man and the land.
