Rare photo of a Kanuri boy in rural North-Eastern Nigeria

in portraitphotography •  7 years ago 

Hi everyone.

Below is my photo of a young Nigerian boy in a rural village in the North-East of Nigeria whose village has been ravaged by the Boko-Haram crisis.

He curiously looks at the camera despite the health promotion activity going on around him. He has a rash from the extreme temperature which can get up to 42 degrees on a normal summer day and has not had a bath in more than three days as water is hard to come by in this arid desert region.
