Ethiopian tribes

Ethiopia: encounters while traveling between the Ethiopian tribes where I had the opportunity to see various ethnic groups such as the Hamer, Surma, Karo and Mursi.

My project is to document the life of peoples on the edge of the world, ethnicities and tribal groups with a lifestyle still in harmony with nature, with customs and traditions preserved despite globalization. In my photographic journey I try to grasp the beauty of looks and gestures, respecting their customs, to the point of grasping the invisible aspect that I try to convey, with my images, to those who observe them. It simply revives some of that magic that pervades me every time I explore a distant land through my travels.
