For the Mumuhuila hair indicates social status. Hairstyles, like necklaces, change throughout a lady’s adolescent and adult life. For an adult like Mynga, the number of dreadlock structures or ‘nontombii’ is significant and certain events, such as a death in the family, will lead to the removal of some. John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and his subjects in their day to day attire. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look.
