Yunita Mabel of the Dani Tribe

Photographed by Guy Needham

In the distant land of Papua, Indonesia, live the Dani tribe. Although thousands of years old, they were unknown to the rest of the world until 1938. Today they still live a simple life as their traditions and values have endured. In 2022 I was invited into Anemoigi village, as part of my ongoing project to document indigenous peoples. This portrait is of Yunita, of the Dani of Papua.
