Tribes

• Photographer
  Timo Heiny, Germany

I try to hold tight on my photographs what I felt during my journeys, the intuition of a nativeness. Maybe it is the mystical idea from the beginning of humans, an original relationship between human and nature

I was 17 years old when I travelled the first time with my camera through east Africa.
As a visitor who comes from a completely different cultural background, I was fascinated by such an archaic way of life that I had the luck to discover at my journey.First it was the fascination as an photographer to capture these earthy beauty of these tribes.

Today I know, that I had the privilege, temporary to be a part of a life forms that will not survive in our fast changing world.And now my work became a photographic contemporary document.I was inspired by characters as there are Leni Riefenstahl and
