The african tribe Hadza

The Hadza or also know as Hadzabe are a small 1000 people african tribe who live around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Vally, central Tanzania. German photographer Martin Schoeller  who is represented by vh-artist and the National Geographic are presenting The Hadza photo collection which contains some interesting tribal images.

The NG also ask a interesting question.

 They are living a hunter-gatherer existence that is little changed from 10,000 years ago. What do they know that we’ve forgotten?

What do you think, have we forgotten something along the way?

Intimate Portraits From Ethiopia’s Omo Valley

By Tyler Coates on Oct 29, 2013 12:45pm

New York-based art director Diego Arroyo, whose photography we have featured in the past, recently visited Ethiopia and captured images of the tribes in the Omo Valley. In these striking portraits, Arroyo manages to highlight the cultural identities of the individuals without othering them. “All humans share the same emotions, and that’s what makes us all the same and unique in a very special way,” he writes. “Showing that overall honest connection is the main purpose of my work. In a way, I try to make people relate to the subject, catch glimpses of their deep emotions and personalities, show the underlying magic that deserves to be seen and usually remains unnoticeable. When we understand each other in that kind of way, cultural differences become quite insignificant.” Take a look at the collection after the jump.
