Nuba girl with her little brother from Niaro

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.

Young lady waiting at the ferry station of Merowe

Collection: pawelwolf.pawelwolf
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.
