Decorated Suri Girl
Decorated Suri Girl is one in a series of incredible photographic images taken by Mario Gerth on his travels through Africa where he visited many of the indigenous tribes staying with families along the way exploring their rituals, culture and individual personalities. What energy in this image! Is she playing or carrying out a war dance? This tribe wears fruit and foliage as decoration for fashion and ritual belief. The bold lines of the leaf really seem to animate the moment as though this little girl has leapt in front of the camera for an instant and in the next will prance off back to her games and dancing!
Mario Gerth is a world class German photographer who has pursued his passion by documenting his travels through 80 different countries across the globe. My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw these images for the first time. They are powerful and entrancing with a softness of light and richness of texture that emerges boldly from the dark background making it seem almost possible to reach out and touch the skin of the person in the photograph.
