About the Item
The Arbore of southern Ethiopia are a small group living within a few square miles of the Omo Valley. They are located near to Lake Stefanie, known locally as Chew Bahir, a body of water that disappears for years at a time.
The Arbore maintain close cultural ties with the neighbouring Konso people. Women in particular wear elaborate beadwork, often sourced from the Borena of northern Kenya; another group that they share close cultural ties with.
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 in their day to day attire.
John Kenny’s black and white photographic portraits are taken on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa and India. All shot with natural light and with the subjects in their day to day attire they reveal the pride and strength inherent in tradional ways of life.
The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a very contemporary feel.

Samburu Adornment by John Kenny. C-type Print with Acrylic Face-Mount
Located in Coltishall, GB
I met this young married Samburu in the middle of a busy market in western Kenya. She was with a group of young women browsing the wooden stalls dotted across the dusty red earth in the lowlands of the Matthew’s Range. In Samburu communities young men spend years as warriors – a wandering lifestyle which make it impossible for them to marry. Instead they take girlfriends and give them beads and necklaces to indicate their relationship.
Samburu girls adore receiving these presents and adorn themselves in more and more necklaces. The girl in this picture, although now married to an elder, still shows her beads from the time of being promised to a warrior: they are the band of 8 or so thin necklaces...
