Book review Stonefactory by Tom Leininger Photo eye magazine
“Olof Jarlbro’s book, Stonefactory , shows the lives of Nepalese workers in a pair of stone mills outside of Kathmandu where bare hands and strong backs are the tools. Jarlbro’s black and white images highlight hardworking people going through their lives with dignity. The photographs show no escape from the work, piles of stones of various size fill the background and edges of the frames in nearly every image. ““Jarlbro reveals a hidden Nepal. His respect for his subjects is evident – a number of the images are portraits in nature. ”
“Jarlbro photographed these workers off and on over a six year period. He does turn these workers into heros. The photographic power of description tells a direct story in a way that is both contemporary and timeless. It is a story told out of respect. —
TOM LEININGER”

Book review The falling Kingdom and Stonefactory
“People who Jarlbro presented to us – served ably for us with the depth of field, a game with the size of individual plans and unconventional composition- it’s part of this vanishing world, which is often seen as an ethnographic phenomenon. Jarlbro has managed to overcome the culture shock – because we see people who, despite hard work and hard living conditions have not lost their dignity.”
