Niger.
Sahel. Azaouak valley. Wodaabe (Bororo/Fulani) nomad painted up for a yakey
dance, which is a male beauty contest as well. He blackened his lips to enhance
the whiteness of his teeth and lightened his face with an ochre powder.

Niger. Vallée de l’Azaouak. Nomade Wodaabe
(Bororo/Peul) peint pour participer à un yakey, une danse qui est à la fois un
concours de beauté masculine. Il a noirci ses lèvres pour mettre en valeur la
blancheur de ses dents et éclairé son visage avec une poudre ocre.
Incredibly beautiful. Maybe I need to go there for a husband! :)
