AFRICAN PORTRAITS: NUBA
In 1962, Leni Riefenstahl became the first white woman to obtain permission from the Sudanese government to study the Nuba tribe. Until 1969, she lived intermittently among these people in the remote valleys of central Sudan, studying them closely taking unique and fascinating photographs which constitutes a lasting record of what was once their way of life.

Inspired by George Rodger's famous photographs of Nuba wrestlers, Riefenstahl set out to compile what became her second great photographic essay.
