Photos by Mario Gerth
Mario Gerth is a documentary photographer whose profession has brought him to over 80 countries in five continents. He has travelled for two years across remote African regions into a world completely different from the West. The portraits of the nomads residing in these remote regions reflect African beauty and uniqueness.
His trip delivered a series of striking portraits of the last nomads and semi-nomads left across Africa. Their cultures have created unique adornments from the surrounding environment to represent themselves with an almost otherworldly beauty. The German documentary photographer’s photo essay captures the beauty and diversity of Africa that clashes with the orderly Western society.
