Himba Woman Applying Ochre Cream in Frost

by Brent Shields

Crisp high-altitude sunlight strikes a Himba woman seated on frost-covered ground near Agadir. She wears traditional red ochre-dyed garments and rubs the same vibrant pigment onto her skin with her hands. The midday sun casts sharp, short shadows that define the texture of her skin and the fine layer of white ice crystals on the dry grass beside her. Her hair is styled in intricate braids coated in ochre paste. Delicate ice formations rest along the hem of her dress. One frost-covered stone sits next to her hand.
