Chasseurs


"Dozos hunters in Seguelon, Côte d'Ivoire on Feb. 5th 2012, during a gathering of Dozos from Côte d'Ivoire and some other neighbouring countries.

The gathering aimed both at celebrating their traditions and culture and is also an attempt to give this secular brotherhood a formal status into the new state of Côte d'Ivoire.

The Dozos identity and traditions in Côte d'Ivoire have been hampered as some of them have been involved into illicit activities or are said to be responsible for some war crimes, during the 2011 events." Taken by Alexandre Foulon

Himba Tribes Woman


The Himba are an ethnic group of about 25,000 people living in northern Namibia, and southern Angola. The Himba women wear very little clothing, and they cover their skin with mixture of butter fat and red clay. That gives shine and reddish texture. It's Himbas ideal of beauty and protects the skin from sun. The hairstyle worn by Himba women is also quite unique. The hair is braided ("weaved") and covered with the mixture of butter oil and special type of red clay. Before reaching the puberty girls have only two hair braids. After the puberty they are allowed to make more of them. Taken by Igor Bilić
