About the Item

A Samburu warrior from Kenya A return to Kenya. On this trip John took a different approach to lighting. Building makeshift studios from locally acquired white sheets held up by four warriors and their spears! The suffuse light allows John to capture a remarkable level of detail. His subjects calm demeanor belies the reality of harsh arid winds, extreme temperatures and dust. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look. Edition of 25 Presentation: Acrylic face mounted C-type print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country – Kenya Culture – Rendille Year – 2011 Frame- Acrylic face-mounted Size - 26.5" x 18"
