The Hamar are one of the biggest tribes of the Ethiopian Omo Valley. The girls are usually taking care of the corn and surgum fields and take often the newborn baby goats with them. The man and warriors of the tribe are taking care of the lifestock of the family and are constantly looking for green grass and water for their animals. Sometimes they have to walk for days to find a good place for a good place.

"Master Photographer Jan C. Schlegel captures the essence of people in an extraordinary way, evidencing his passion for classical photography and his sensitivity towards nature. His work takes us on a journey through unconventional geographies with precise mastery. Respect for the language of the body dwells in the exquisite perfection of the image. In the midst of the digital age we live in, Schlegel opts for the darkroom photographic tradition. His exact knowledge of the instruments and the development process is surprising when the visual result of the positive is obtained."
