"This picture was taken in a village of the Suri tribe mountain range near the border to South Sudan. When I asked this young mother if I could take her picture, she slowly walked towards my little studio I had set up. Standing in front of my camera, she behaved like a supermodel knowing how to look and pose. She turned her head perfectly towards me and looked straight into the camera like it would be the most normal thing for her. I released the shutter of my 4x5 camera and here it is."
