There are few places in the worlds where you can wander freely around a group of people going about their business and photograph to your hearts content. This is one of the last places where you are free to wander, and photograph, to your Hearts desire. And what exploration it is- the richness and intensity of life in a cattle camp overwhelms you. The Ankole Watusi cattle, with their long, sabre like horns make remarkable patterns. The Mundari washing their cattle, the smoke and the ash blowing in the wind, the young boy workers sweeping up the ash and the scarred women and men, with ash on their faces all combine to make a scene so overwhelmingly rich in photo opportunities that your senses (and camera) go into overdrive.
The Mundari adore cattle to the extent of massaging them, naming themselves after their bulls, washing in their ash and showering in urine. The connection is one that goes way beyond our appreciation and translates incredibly well into the photographic medium.
Each session is a feast of exploration and guided by Shem Compion, you will gain insights into the lives and rituals of a cattle camp, eking out photo opportunities you didn’t know existed.
In the young country of South Sudan, expect to have one of the most rich, immersive and intimate cultural experiences possible in Africa. The country is raw and wild- this is a frontier. But the experience of time in a cattle camp is as authentic and as photographically rich as you can dream and you will return home with images very few others have, and unique in every aspect of their lives. I invite you to join me on this very special expedition here we will capture images as rich and as rewarding as you could ever imagine.
