The day was hot, like an oven, with a light breeze that couldn’t quite cut the heat. The ground scorched my back as I laid down for the shot. I was determined to capture the towering presence of the boys against the blue, sun-kissed backdrop of the sky. I thought doing so would truly highlight their height, their stilts, and the beautiful, white tribal paints on their bodies. A distant, loud truck caught their attention for a brief moment, aligning them in a unified gaze. It was in this fleeting moment that I was able to preserve not just an ancient custom but a living, breathing connection to a past that felt almost medieval in its regality.
