Tribe

Another photoshoot with the Papuan costumes. This time we went with my friend Dijay and his brother Ary to the coffee and coconut plantation for some outdoor pictures. It is always so much fun to see how people transforming into different characters with the costumes and arroundings.

Shells

Handmade shell jewellery from Papua New Guinea. After a long persuasion the shopkeeper of this one primitive art shop finally let me borrow some of his shell jewellery.

With Cinta and Maija we had a photoshoot by the river. The strong stream, heavy necklaces and rocky riverbed were quite a challenge but great fun! Can't wait to do one more photoshoot with these  primitive art pieces.
