Tim Smith's Photographs of Rwanda

Photographer Tim Smith travelled to Gisovu, Mata and Kitabi, three tea estates in the rolling mountains of Rwanda. Tea is one of Rwanda's biggest export earners. The photographs in this exhibition attempt to show all aspects of the tea industry in this African country.
