Wayuu Indian Girl Photo

Photographer’s Note

Una nena Wayuu de la Guajira, a dins de la seva cabana. No se perque aquesta nena estava molt emprenyada. La resta de nens eran una explosio de joc, alegria, en fi, eren nens, pero aquesta noieta no s'havia aixecat amb bon peu aquell dia.

A indian girl. The Wayuu indians live into the desert of la Guajira. The colombian goverment leave them in their land, with their rules and traditions.

Wonderful duotone Jordi. You're handing these colors very well. This is a fine photo with fine detail. It would be nice with a bit shallower depth of field so the wall in the background would be a bit more blurred. I'd also suggest that you size your images to no more than 650 pixels in height so we can see the whole image without the need to scroll. At least on my 17" monitor it is necessary to scroll, so I miss the chance to see the whole composition at once.

Wonderful work. I'm glad you're able to post from time to time.

Hello Jordi,

Beautiful portrait of a beautiful little girl, I like her curly hair in "a artistic mess" and understanding eyes, the way she looks at you is also special.Besides choice of the sepia colours was I think a good choice. It gives the picture a character.
Regarding the description - could you writr me a bit more about this indian tribe and their every day life? Thank you in advance
Warm spring greetings from
