Himba woman - Angola

After a long drive; we arrived at the Himba village where we would put up our tents for the night. While exploring the village and meeting the local Himba's; we started taking pictures. Some in the beautiful light of the golden hour and some against a black background we had put up. All of the sudden this beautiful Himba woman emerged from her hut. She was not yet aware that we were there and looked a bit surprised. At first, she wasn't interested in anyone taking her picture. Without any expectations, i showed her some photos i already took and went on to take some different shots. She must have had a change of heart because all of a sudden she was standing in front of the black background ready to get her picture taken. I am so happy and grateful that she did 😊🙏 because she just had that certain aura about her, a sense of royalty if you will. That " je ne sais quoi" quality. I think i captured it and i hope you can see it.
