Omo, Harar and Awash 2022

The appeal of Ethiopia is undeniable and the Omo offers the photographer some of the best tribal images anywhere. It is rich is cultural diversity and the tribes are resilient to the tsunami of change but nonetheless change is a certainty. The Omo valley of Ethiopia is part of the Southern Nations and Nationalities Peoples Region (SNNPR) and is a relatively isolated area of the country, renowned for its indigenous people or tribes. There are approximately 40 tribes in the region, many of who are living as they have existed for millennia. It is these tribes that we have come to photograph – in their villages, the bush, roadside and local markets. Harar - the narrow cobble streets of the ancient walled town of Harar. It’s easy to feel lost, both geographically and in time, when you’re in eastern Ethiopia’s Unesco World Heritage-listed Harar. The ancient walled city, scattered over hundreds of narrow alleyways clustered together like a maze, has plenty of old-world charm. Wherever you look, there’s a noteworthy feature: traditional Harari houses, 16th-century gates, watchtowers, and uniquely constructed mosques and shrines. Harar continues to bear the significant handprint of the trade that once flourished here, from India, the ¬Middle East and the rest of Africa.
