Description: Portrait of a little girl who, like a mother, is holding her little brother in her arms. She looks a little uncertainly into the camera, as she has probably not encountered a photographing European too often. The little boy, on the other hand, looks very calmly, almost even dignified into the camera. The Nuba love jewellery and wear necklaces and bracelets every day since their early childhood.

Description: A young woman is waiting for the ferry at the Merawe ferry station. Her outfit, the henna on her hands and the many jewels show that she is on her way to a wedding. Her graceful light blue robe and gold jewellery contrast with the coarse Nile mud she has chosen to sit on. Nevertheless, the pale soft morning light makes the contrast disappear and the picture appears pastel-like tone in tone.

Description: Portrait of a young man from Niaro. He is sitting on the edge of an angareb smoking a cigarette and drinking Marisa, a traditional, locally produced beer. On the right side of the angareb is a portable radio. Besides a digital watch and the European clothes that the Nuba usually get from international aid supplies, he wears his traditional utensils, for example, the knife on his upper left arm and a bracelet with talismans on his upper right arm. His head is covered by a plastic hat he borrowed from his wife. It is impossible for a Nuba to be photographed without headgear.
