THE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN OF SENEGAL

THESE PORTRAITS OF THE REMARKABLE AND BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN OF NOMAD TRIBESMAN IN THE FAR NORTHERN DESERT OF SENEGAL HAVE BEEN CALLED HYPER-REAL BECAUSE THEY CELEBRATE THE DIGNITY, ELEGANCE AND HOSPITALITY OF THESE TRIBES AND THEIR CHILDRN FAR FROM THE CLICHES OF CIVILIZATION. I PHOTOGRAPHED THEM WITH RESPECT, LOVE AND DIGNITY AS WE AS THEIR PARENTS. THAT IS THE CRITERIA FOR MAKING SUCCESSFUL PORTRAITS. YOU MUST CARE FOR YOUR SUBJECTS, AND IF POSSIBLE, REVEAL THEIR FINEST CHARACTER AND SPIRITS.
