Echo of the Nuba people in Sudan
The Nuba people inhabit the Nuba mountains in the South Kordofan region of war-torn Sudan. Amidst genocides and oppression, they retained their distinct culture. Those are one of the first photographs that have been taken after Leni Riefenstahl's photography and narratives in 1960s til 1970s.
About Artist
Philipp Schmieja
Self-taught photographer and passionate traveler. I discovered my passion for photography during traveling African countries. I had developed a fascination for tribes. This has been underpinned by my passion for photography. Tribal people are those who have unique customs. They often have a symbiotic bond with the environments in which they live. I am using photography as a medium to capture candid moments as well as community spirit and portraits. And in that moment, through my lens, I am seeking to portray the soul of the places by blending intimate people photography with striking imagery of cultural heritage.
