Most of every photo I've seen of indigenous African tribes people were taken by white man.

I want to tell the stories of these communities from an African perspective, the stories of the lives they lead. I wanted to celebrate them in glorious technicolor. Between 2017 till present, I’ve lived with The El Molo tribe, The Samburu tribe, The Rendille Tribe, The Lake Turkana Tribe, The Mursi Tribe, The Hamer Tribe, The Karo Tribe, The Nyangatom Tribe, and The Dassanech Tribe.

We live in such a magnificent world, with such rich cultures, that sometimes we forget that there is a bigger world out there, we're all so frightened by time, the way it moves on and the way things disappear. That's why we're Storytellers. We take pictures to stop time, to commit moments to eternity.
