About the Item

This warrior, like many of the Samburu, cares intensely about his appearance. There are two giveaway signs beyond the amount of jewellery he wears: a small pink pocket mirror, next to his sword, and a dangling pouch on his necklace containing red ochre powder for his hair. 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: Unmounted C-type print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country – Kenya Culture – Samburu Year – 2011 Frame - Print only Size - 26.5" x 18"
