Two Young Himba Moms With Children sent on October 09, 2025 (9:28) by Elisabetta Leonardi. 66 comments, 773 views. [retina]

at 145mm, 1/250 f/4.5, ISO 64, hand held. Namib-Naukluft Park, Namibia.

Gli Himba, gruppo etnico indigeno che vive principalmente nelle remote regioni nord-occidentali della Namibia, sono una comunità pastorale semi-nomade che vive in un ambiente arido e semidesertico. Il loro aspetto è unico, e include la copertura della pelle e dei capelli con una una pasta cosmetica tradizionale chiamata otjize, miscela di ocra rossa, grasso di burro e varie erbe aromatiche. Questa miscela conferisce alla pelle e ai capelli una caratteristica tonalità rossastra. Le donne sono particolarmente note per le loro acconciature intricate, che riflettono la loro età, lo status sociale e la fase della vita. Ad esempio, le ragazze portano due trecce (chiamate ozondato), mentre le donne sposate e le madri sfoggiano acconciature più elaborate, spesso con ornamenti fatti di conchiglie, perline e peli di animali. L'abbigliamento Himba è minimalista, ma altamente simbolico; le donne indossano tipicamente gonne di pelle di vitello e si adornano con gioielli artigianali in ferro, rame, conchiglie e gusci d'uovo di struzzo. Le famiglie Himba vivono in semplici capanne a cupola adatte allo stile di vita nomade e costruite con una combinazione di bastoni, fango e sterco di mucca. Queste abitazioni sono disposte in complessi familiari circolari, solitamente incentrati attorno a un fuoco sacro, che rappresenta il legame spirituale tra i vivi e i loro antenati. Il fuoco viene curato regolarmente e ha un profondo significato religioso e culturale. (liberamente tratto dal web) #Namibia #Himba #reportage #villaggio #tribù Il bimbo in piedi aveva di fronte a sé un recipiente in plastica, che, a mio modesto parere, disturbava lo spirito della foto. In altre immagini ho mantenuto tutto quello che c'era, qui ho preferito eliminarlo. Ho quindi recuperato i piedi da un'altra immagine dello stesso bimbo, molto simile a questa per inquadratura. Mi dispiaceva cancellarlo completamente.

Their archaic culture is very interesting, so deep-rooted even if they come into contact with the Western one (plastic bag and children's clothing). A hard life theirs, but they seem less stressed than us!
Nice reportage, Elisabetta!

The child standing had a plastic container in front of him, which, in my humble opinion, disturbed the spirit of the photo. In other images I kept everything that was there, here I preferred to delete it. I then recovered the feet from another image of the same child, very similar to this one in framing.
I was sorry to delete it completely.
Thank you for your timely observations.

I took the liberty of highlighting what another user said, since the feet seemed to me as if they were suspended above the ground. It would also seem to me that the light comes from the right, relative to the three seated subjects and the construction behind them. While to the standing child the light seems to reach the whole figure from behind the shooting point, I would also say shifted to the left, giving the idea that lights and shadows are inconsistent with the rest of the image. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Thank you Grohmann for the careful reading, no need to apologize.
The child, very uncertain in his gait, was trying to reach his mother quickly; on the observations regarding lights and shadows I honestly cannot give you an answer.
