, 1/100 f/1.2, ISO 500,

Ho fotografato gli ultimi cacciatori di teste ancora in vita, ho incontrato alcuni di questi anziani guerrieri nei villaggi del distretto di mon, nella regione del Nagaland. i konyak sono famosi per il loro rito di tagliare le teste hai nemici; un tempo un giovane guerriero Konyak avrebbe ricevuto un tatuaggio al suo volto, quando portava al suo re la testa di un nemico, questo era un simbolo di potenza, prestigio e rispetto da parte di tutto il villaggio .... oltre ad avere tatuaggi facciali e tatuaggi sul corpo i loro simboli di guerrieri sono grossi piercieng alle orecchie fatte di corna di animali, cappelli di guerra fatti di corna di maiali selvatici, piume dell'hornbill e pelo di orso selvatico. loro credevano che prendendo la testa di un nemico, si prendeva anche il suo potere e la sua anima. l'ultima testa e' stata tagliata intorno al 1960, Questa era una pratica comune fino alla cristianizzazione che pose fine alla loro cultura e alle loro tradizioni.
