Danish photographer Jacob Aue Sobol’s high-contrast, black-and-white images are imbued with a sobering quality, not least because of his preference for close-ups. His series Arrivals and Departures is the result of 28 days spent on the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Ulan Bator to Beijing. During the trip, he took around 1,000 photos a day, later edited down to a striking series of portraits.
