Perpignan, France

A gypsy father poses proudly with his son in his arms.
When a man is present, the women turn around and don't want to appear in the photo.
Traditions and patriarchy are very present in the gypsy community.
I photographed the gypsy community of Perpignan, in French Catalonia, for a dozen years. On the Spanish border, these gypsies live a sedentary existence, sometimes in terrible poverty.
