The
Majestic Maasai ~ New Collectors Edition Book
In
2007, 2008 and 2010 photographer V. Tony Hauser travelled to Kenya
donating his time to document the humanitarian work of Canada’s
most inspired international, youth-motivated aid organization
Attracted
and captivated by the complex customs of various African tribes Hauser
became acquainted with
traditional
Maasai villagers who eventually invited him to their homes to be
photographed. Intrigued by the
Maasai’s
regal poise and serenity, the photographer began to make portraits with
both modern and antique
cameras
resulting in intimate, engaging and elegant images of tribal chiefs,
elders, families and children or
young
‘warriors’ at the brink of manhood.
The
masterfully produced collection of limited edition photographs is rendered
in platinum,
silver
or carbon pigment prints. The collection is available for viewing at the
studio / gallery,
37
King Street East, Toronto
Ontario.
The
new collector’s edition art book (which is featured in the video), further
explores Maasai life
through
images and words. Hauser blends his photographs with legends and traditions
told by elders
who
idolize the past. But he recognizes that the once nomadic Maasai are at the
threshold of a subtle,
but rapidly approaching evolution.
