People and Pastoralism
Many people are inextricably connected to their livestock and beasts of burden. The peoples of the Ilemi triangle are all pastoralists. Their bond with their livestock is inextricably connected to their environment and their subsistence farming systems have a small ecological footprint.
About Artist
Trevor Cole
I am an international travel photographer and photo tour leader, based in Donegal, Ireland. Born in Derry, I went on to teach geography at international schools in Singapore, Togo, Italy, Ethiopia and Brazil – always travelling extensively with my camera. This naturally brought two of my life’s passions together as a geographer-photographer. My photography focuses predominantly on culture and landscapes; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life, while striving to reflect the need to live in a more sustainable world. By seeking the moment and light in various contexts, we can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. I lead photo tours locally in Ireland, but also in Scotland, Iceland, Ethiopia, Namibia, Chad, South Sudan, Eritrea, India and beyond. With a focus on small groups, the aim is to provide culturally sensitive immersion, photographic guidance and the opportunity for the photographic travel experience of a lifetime. My approach is based on an alternative vision of tomorrow – capturing unforgettable moments through photography that empower us to reflect upon the world around us, and truly be the change that we want to see in that world.
