2006
About the Item
John met this young Fula girl as she was walking across the barren, sandy monotones of Niger’s Sahel. She was wearing an amazingly intricate arrangement of beads and a carefully crafted hat.
The intricate jewellery and vibrant facial make-up represent both the Fula culture, of which she belonged, and the dominant Hausa people of southern Niger amongst who she lived.
The Fulani (also known as Fula, Fulbe, Peul) are the largest nomadic group in the world and are found across thousands of kilometres of West Africa, spanning from Senegal in the far west to Chad in the far east.
The Fulani were the first group of people in West Africa to convert to Islam.
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.

Sheet 238,7 x 177,8 cm (94 x 70 in.) Frame 245 x 185,6 x 6 cm (96 1/2 x 73 1/8 x 2 3/8 in.) Edition of 5; Ed. no. 5/5 (from a sold out edition) Albert Watson (*1942, Scotland) is a Scottish photographer well known for his fashion, celebrity, and art photography, having shot over 200 Vogue and 40 Rolling Stone covers since the mid-1970s. His photographs are signature, classical, and bold, and in our world of manipulation, Watson prefers the enlargers and the trays; an artist who greatly enriches our perception with his unique photographic view. Photo District News named Watson one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time, along with Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, among others. Watson shared intimate moments about shooting celebrities like Johnny Depp, 50 Cent and Clint Eastwood and dove into the history behind famous shots like the double exposure of Mick Jagger and the leopard that Watson shot by chance.
