French photographer Floriane de Lassée traveled the world looking for people with a lot on their minds, and boy, did she find them. de Lassée snapped incredible pictures of people carrying tremendous loads on top of their heads. From East Africa to South America, people were more than happy to show her their amazing neck strength. de Lassée named the project “How Much Can You Carry,” and was surprised when she saw what people could stack and, more importantly, balance on top of their heads. It’s really quite a sight. Take a look!
