Syuru Village - part 3

Posted by Stephen (Canberra, Australia) on 10 May 2012 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Asmat artists
In Syuru Village, the people had set out stalls offering wood carvings and other artifacts such as drums, stone axes and shields. I bought a few small carvings and also took the opportunity to get photos of some of the wood crafters whose work was on display.

Here, you see the first of three of these portraits.

In a future series, I will focus on Asmat Art - when I visit the Agats Museum.

Nikon D5000 1/400 second F/3.5 ISO 1600 48 mm
