Hamar En Vogue

A graceful gait, an elegant long-limbed stance, or this spontaneous pose under the photographer's gaze - all exude poise and dignity amid the bustle of a weekly market in Ethiopia's lower Omo Valley.

Omalle, a young married Hamar woman, vogued this pose against a mud wall at the marketplace in Turmi, a small multi-ethnic frontier town in the remote Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region of southwest Ethiopia. Shot directly under the midday sun near the end of a long dry season regularly exceeding 40°C in the shade.

Elegantly adorned with a traditional cowrie-shell collar, seeded necklaces, copper bracelets, glass-beaded goatskin clothing and iron marital torques. The torques are worn for life. The hairstyle consists of long, tightly twisted strands rubbed in a mixture of fresh cow butterfat, ground red ochre and tree resin gathered from the lower Omo River Basin.
