About the Item
Markets are the lifeblood of social interaction in the Omo valley as they bring together widely scattered groups for a few hours each week. For the remainder of their time, many families live with their animals in isolated settlements and follow semi-nomadic patterns of movement. As a result, markets in the Omo valley are as much about animated conversations, passing on news, and looking good, particularly for the young and eligible, as they are about buying and selling of goods. People head towards them from very early in the morning, commonly walking for hours along the well worn trails that serve as informal roads.
This young woman was wandering through the market with her mother, who she walked closely behind. Most of the other girls of her age were gathered in groups but she had a sense of vulnerability that seemed to set her apart.
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.
The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look.

- John Kenny Malasso Portrait, Unmounted C-type Print, 2009Located in Coltishall, GBI came across the intense stare of this Pokot lady at a Friday market on a mountain summit in northern Kenya; it was the same market where I photographed a Samburu goat herder wrapped in blankets. The Pokot and Samburu are engaged in a constant battle over grazing rights, the two groups tend not to mix even at the market. This lady and the women with her were watched carefully by armed Pokot warriors as they walked amongst the market’s wooden stalls. The journey to the market involves walking many kilometres across the valley floor and then a 1000m ascent to the mountain pass. When she left the market she carried no purchases with her an example of the exertions and huge distances that people in the north endure in order to trade and buy their basic necessities.

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.
