The Afar from Afar
The Afar of the Danakil, Ethiopia are renowned as a warrior tribe. They are a highly resilient ethnic group and very proud of their culture. They have adapted over millennia to living in a desert climate and the way they live is a reflection of this existence.
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.
