A #yarograph of an elderly gbagyi woman smoking her pipe and carrying some load on her shoulder during the Gbagyi carnival. The Gbagyi woman carries heavy loads on their shoulders and never on their heads, they could walk for miles that way. Their belief is the head is to sacred to be burdened with heavy load, its is where the brain lies and shouldn't be tampered with. Rhythms of the earth is Trek Afrique's new project which showcases the cultural heritage of the Ushafa/Gbagyi people Photographers interested pls contact into@trekafrique.com #yaroelishaphotography #blackwoman #doronayaro #woman #heritage #culture #ushafa #gbagyi #blackandwhite #bw #pipe #rhythmsoftheearth #trekafrique #documentary #canon #60d #darkskin #strong #portrait #abj #abuja #nigeria #africa #lagosphotofestival #monochrome by yaroe_photography
