The volcanic soils of the region offer a wide range of colours, the earth contains incomparable reds, whites and yellows; the green comes from a soft stone found in the river.

The great reporter Hans Silvester discovered the Omo Valley in 2002. Initially, he went there to meet the researchers of Lucy, the oldest human being. It was with Moulou, his faithful guide, that he finally met the various local peoples. Fascinated by their way of life, he develops strong ties with the tribes. His photographs reveal the various body paintings of these peoples, attesting to the photographer's patience and the trust he was able to instil. These pictures reveal their art, their generosity and the precarious balance they maintain with nature. These numerous photographs bring us closer to these people, along the banks of the Omo.

Selected by Retour De Voyage, this photo highlights the elegance of the body and the freedom of gesture.
