I Photographed A Unique Kenyan Tribe To Show Their Indigenous Beauty (18 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

Tribal life is fading with the invasion of the modern lifestyle. Kenya is one of the most advanced African countries and one can notice clearly that tribes are affected by globalization.

In this series, I am showing the beauty of cultural diversity and how fashion is playing a key role in showing the uniqueness of each tribe.

I've posted on Bored Panda previously and had photographed other tribes too. If you are interested you can find more posts that are similar to this one by clicking here, and here.

what is the significance of the accessories they r wearing? in every photo it's different. does it have to do with seniority, accomplishments and honor? it seems, the older they become, the heavier their accessories become. also, they are all so intricate and beautiful!

why is his hair orange? does that signify something or is it tradition for young men’s hair to be orange?

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

We should decorate ourselves more, it's nice for others to enjoy! Alsoi, I read that some groups of African people use red clay as a sunscreen, which is why a 'look' for some women is reddish braids, bc sunscreen keeps hair from being damaged, as well. And it's decorative. too!

Amazing people and pics! However, I'd like to say something I observed to our comments. To pandas, men are tough and fierce while young women are cute and beautiful. Comments to old women are not about them but about what they are wearing. Think about it a sec before downvoting me.

I did not reply to every photograph because it would’ve been repetitive you’ve got a beautiful eye beautiful subjects and the work you’ve done on your photos is A+! Be proud of your work, it’s stunning!

The Kenyan people are wonderful and proud of their country. But I can say the same of every country in Africa I visited. Really great people. I also liked that they didn't seem to want the 'western lifestyle'.
