entry description
The photo was taken in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. The Huli tribe lives in the highlands, the men are called Huli Wigmen. The Hulis use their own bodies as art canvases. Every social situation calls for a different type of body decoration, including paint, nose bones, feathers, animal skins, and giant human-hair wigs worn by the men (thus the name “Wigmen”).about the photographer
