For "Essence", Schlegel aimed to convey the beauty, dignity, pride, and hope of a people who both live and cherish native traditions and cultures.These include tribes from Kenya (Turkana and Rendille, Pokotand Massai), Ethopia (Mursi, Suri, Ebore, Hamar, Kara), Namibia (Himba), as well as Egypt and Lybia (Beduine), Algeria (Taureg), Afghanistan (Hazar and Nuristani), and Pakistan (Kalash and Pashtun). Using a handmade wooden camera, Schlegel captures details, textures, scars, imperfections; and via an abiding intimacy and intensity, the intrinsic humanity that he seeks.
This picture depicts a young Himba mother carrying her baby on her back. His tiny feet are visible on next to her elbows.
