Beautiful photos of a truly beautiful people. There is something very striking about the tribal hair pieces and body art they wear.

With such obvious beauty and sensuality dripping off of them, I wonder how they manage to live day to day without constantly having sex…or maybe they do! =)

Great job with the photography Luka!

I developed a deep affection for the power of the Himba women. So much so I began to safe money to pursue my need and desire to find a wife among the Himba. I was nearing my goal of $3000. I was going to travel to Namibia, and go through whatever it took to become accepted by the Himba, and worthy of a wife. I was tired in the soul and mind of American women, in general, and African-American women, in particular. But my grandfather, an Ethiopian Rabbi, Ojuku insisted what I needed was here. Long story short, he was right. He led me to the place I would find my wife. That was ten years ago. I have no regrets. It was a wise moment for me to adhere to his command.

The beauty and power of their ways, and sensuality is still mesmerizing. They rank among the most beautiful of women in this world. This beauty of theirs probably transcends the boundaries between the worlds surrounding our existence.

Afrique, do not consider this photo as an exploitation. It is about beauty and the girl I photographed didn’t mind it at all. Himbas have different culture than us and showing bare breasts is a part of it. I do not see anythig bad at showing this particular photo. What about other photos, where is also nuditiy? Are they acceptable only because there are also visible faces?

Anyway – I tried to show Himbas in a graceful way as they deserve and so far from the feedback from others i did that.

as an African i believe it is in bad state that your first picture of my African people is one zooming in and focussing on a young lady’s BUST. Are you interested in her breasts or her overall look as a representation of the HIMBA people. this is borderline EXPLOITATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Horrible.
