Emberá, a photo from Panama, East

Photographer's Note

Tanks for the comments. The girl has just served lunch with her friend and the tradition is to sit back and wait while the guests eat.

It was 1 pm and thus the light sucked, but the shade of the hut made it possiple to extract a finely graduated palette of color transistions while reducing the contrast a bit.

Sincerely Sune

Jagua covered Emberá girl from a village in the Panamá province.

Hi Sune,
What a capture. Do all girls have the same Tattoo's or are they individal patterns.
Regards Arnie.

Eye-catching and fascinating shot. The brown coloured backround blending in with the subject's tattoed body is very artistic indeed. Then the floating couple of white light spots dancing like extra eyes on the scene is also nice.
Of course, the girl is most interesting. For her tattoed body, but also for the royal, but still shy, pose of this girl.
Tell us more about it all! Tell us how you make it all happen?
Very, very, very, very good job.
Cheers, --amz

I have quite enjoyed your last few portraits of the tribe, this one IMO is the best, she is so beautifull, and your photo shows not only her beauty, but the unspoiled (although this may just be my impression) natural beauty of the tribe.
Really well done, looking forward for more.
Peter
