Photos of Ethiopia

By Ingetje Tadros

Early this yr I made the decision to travel to southern Ethiopia to photograph the members of the tribes that phone that area of the country residence. Right after on the lookout for some assist on Google, I ended up with a driver who’d never ever been off-street prior to, with a guide who never showed up, and assisted by a safety guard with a Kalashnikov gun but no bullets.

The following weeks were spent sleeping in a tent with no any pegs, being attacked by baboons, finding threatened by the Mursi tribe, and, in the finish, currently being fully overwhelmed by the extraordinary elegance of the region and the kindness of the people today living there. I managed to take a look at and photograph members of several tribes, together with the Mursi, Banna, Ari, Karo (Kara), Arbore, Hamar, Bodi and Bumi (Nyang’atom). This is the outcome.
