About The Work
The town of Baragoi is half a day’s drive from Lake Turkana. It is a green oasis amidst a parched landscape. The majority of the town’s inhabitants, including this striking woman, are of the Turkana culture.
She was part of a large crowd of women singing loudly in the Easter Sunday procession, holding aloft a huge wooden cross. Christianity is common amongst remote northern Kenyan communities. Her large metal leaf earrings and single metal hoop around her neck shows she is married.
John Kenny’s black and white photographic portraits are taken on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa and India. All shot with natural light and with the subjects in their day to day attire they reveal the pride and strength inherent in traditional ways of life.
