Man of the Mundari. © Trev Cole The Mundari cattle camp, seldom visited by outsiders, is quite simply incredible. The dust and smoke intermingle to create an inimitable atmosphere. The tribes' wealth lies in their cattle and there are thousands of them. When young men of the tribe get married the dowry may be as much as 40 cattle. They cover themselves in the ash from their fires to protect against insects. #watuspaces #visitafrica #africa #african #africanlens #africanculture #africanart #africantourism #atlasofhumanity #africanphotography #potraitphotography #tribesofafrica #africantribes #contemporaryart #art #artspaces #africanpainting #hyperrealism #afrorealism #natgeoafrica #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #photography #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CisfnDXt2SQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Very few people really know African cultures in depth, due to their diversity, often foreign to our continent, getting to know them up close becomes difficult for a large percentage of the globe. That makes the image manipulation process easier and with it the transmission to the viewer. I work on the concept of individuality and loneliness. This is how I came to the African masks and these characters. The special sparkle in their eyes, the way they live, the marks and lines on their bodies leave their traces and denote their belonging." Felipe complements his original motivation behind his work. © Felipe Bedoya #watu #watuspaces #visitafrica #africa #african #africanlens #africanculture #africanart #africantourism #atlasofhumanity #africanphotography #potraitphotography #tribesofafrica #africantribes #contemporaryart #art #artspaces #africanpainting #hyperrealism #afrorealism #natgeoafrica #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #photography #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMZ-B5sBx_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dassanech Woman. The Dassanech tribe have proved themselves to be a thrifty group with many tribesmen and women wearing their unique jewellery made out of everything from old digital watches to bottle caps. The woman in the above image carefully tied cowley shells together to create a beautifully ornate decoration. The Dassanech are pastoralists . Their dedication to cattle rearing reveals that crop cultivation on the flooded banks of the Omo river and its delta are fundamental to their subsistence. © Eric Lafforgue #watu #watuspaces #visitafrica #africa #african #africanlens #africanculture #africanart #africantourism #atlasofhumanity #africanphotography #potraitphotography #tribesofafrica #africantribes #contemporaryart #art #artspaces #africanpainting #hyperrealism #afrorealism #natgeoafrica #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #photography #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOwQddtIwO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Young Hamar lady near Omo valley The Hamar (also spelled Hamer) are an Omotic community inhabiting southwestern Ethiopia. They live in Hamer woreda (or district), a fertile part of the Omo River valley, in the Debub Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR). They are largely pastoralists, so their culture places a high value on cattle. © Mario Gerth #watu #watuspaces #visitafrica #africa #african #africanlens #africanculture #africanart #africantourism #atlasofhumanity #africanphotography #potraitphotography #tribesofafrica #africantribes #contemporaryart #art #artspaces #africanpainting #hyperrealism #afrorealism #natgeoafrica #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #photography #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6hH-nNs8s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mucawana Woman. The Mucawana (or Muhacaona) are an aboriginal nomadic people living in remote provinces of South Angola, particularly in the villages of Soba near Oncocua, Elola and Moimba. The Mucawana people are impervious to change as they still live and dress in strictly traditional ways. They engage in subsistence agriculture and animal husbandry. The women's haircut is made with a mix of cow dungs, fat, and herbs for the fragrance. © Alfred Weidinger #watu #watuspaces #visitafrica #africa #african #africanlens #africanculture #africanart #africantourism #atlasofhumanity #africanphotography #potraitphotography #tribesofafrica #africantribes #contemporaryart #art #artspaces #africanpainting #hyperrealism #afrorealism #natgeoafrica #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #photography #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cll7ZR1tWJu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Man of the Topossa. The Topossa were welcoming and have wonderful villages with beautifully constructed houses, stilted granaries and like the Laarim their compounds are clean. Watching them grind sorghum and cook over fires highlights the degree to which we are privileged in life. The woman are adorned with beaded skirts and collars of beads around their necks. Their faces are frequently scarified with small keloidal bumps. Again they entertained with incredible dancing and when they dance it is with body, mind and spirit. © Trev Cole #watu #watuspaces #visitafrica #africa #african #africanlens #africanculture #africanart #africantourism #atlasofhumanity #africanphotography #potraitphotography #tribesofafrica #africantribes #contemporaryart #art #artspaces #africanpainting #hyperrealism #afrorealism #natgeoafrica #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #photography #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYrsR-tSkh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
