Portrait of a young Wodabee girl with a baby (Chad). The Wodaabe, are a nomadic subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group, primarily found in Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad. Among the Wodaabe people, scarification is a common form of body modification and it is an integral part of their identity and traditions. The scarification process involves creating raised keloid scars in intricate patterns on the skin. Once a specific design or pattern (e.g. geometric shapes, lines, dots, or more elaborate motifs, etc...) has been selected, the area of the skin to be scarified is cleaned and prepared. Scarification is then practiced using a sharp object, such as a knife or razor, to make controlled incisions in the skin. Various substances such as natural plant juices, tree sap, or ash may be applied to the wounds to encourage the formation of keloid scars. Over time, the cuts heal, and the body's natural response leads to the formation of raised scars. Wodaabe scarification serves several purposes such as beauty and aesthetics, cultural Identity, rite of passage, social status, dance and courtship rituals, particularly during events like the Gerewol festival.

Yours may be posed photos, but they represent the best of how you can photograph these people.
A unique value.
Happy birthday ;-)
