Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
In the center of this huge city is the Hazaribagh, a leather industry factory zone.
About 20,000 workers work in about 200 large and small tanneries here, and their products are supplied all over the world.
This is a collection of photos taken of the workers from 2013 to 2015.
In making the book, I wanted to make sure it was not only visual.
I wanted to leave "traces" of their labor somewhere in the book.
The book is housed in a paper case made of Cordoba, a special paper that looks like leather.
