Biljana Jurukovski: A Macedonian in tribal worlds

A great passion for documenting tribal people and their unique way of life has made Biljana Jurukovski, a self taught photographer from Sydney, visit some of the most remote places in Mongolia, Nepal, Mexico, Ethiopia... Her image of a hunter named Saliukhan and his golden eagle, taken in Mongolia, made it on the pages of "National Geographic" as photo of the day. In this region, training eagles for hunting is a skill that is passed on through generations. The eagles hunt small animals in the mountains, which in turn will be made into traditional fur clothes. Once an eagle has been captive for 10 years the hunter releases it back into the wild, explains Biljana Jurukovski
