A Hebridean reportage

A Guardian newspaper audio slideshow with photographs by Murdo McLeod, about Harris tweed. This is a picture story, or reportage. The photographer tells the story with a selection of photographs that mix between big views of the island of Harris, small details of the tweed and the looms, and portraits as well as pictures of the main character at work.
There is a lot of variety in the pictures - a small subject looked at very closely. The soundtrack is the weaver speaking, explaining his story and how tweed is made.
