HIMBA MOTHER AND CHILD 2 by Michael Sheridan

Michael Sheridan's Portfolio

The Himba people live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. This Himba mother was photographed in her village in far Northern Namibia. The smooth reddish skin effect is achieved by daily applications of a reddish clay mixed with ash and butter. These ladies apparently never bathe in water.
