Massimo Bietti is a photographer with a special gift for portraits of childhood and family life. Because he’s a world traveler, this means that he’s collected an absolutely gorgeous portfolio of pictures that show what growing up is like in different countries, from Ethiopia to Malaysia to India to Norway to Russia. His photos of kids at play or at rest in different countries are beautiful, joyful, and uplifting, and each one shows us something familiar — the simple joys of childhood — in a different part of the world.
