Photo taken of Himba woman in Namibia. The himba are a semi-nomadic tribe whose culture and practices are quickly succumbing to the modern world. They celebrate each rite of passage with exquisite jewlery and intricate hair designs. Their reddish hue comes from a daily regimen of rubbing their body with red ochre and animal fat.
