About the Item
This enchanting Rendille lady is from a large village in the Kaisut Desert in northern Kenya. She was living in one of the ‘purest’ parts of the Rendille homeland, where their language and culture had not been influenced or assimilated into those of the surrounding groups. As such, there were elements of this lady’s jewellery that still illustrate the story of her life and present circumstances. One such piece is the long chain that runs down from the hoop near to her right ear; this is something that signified that she was married to a much older man.
Marrying older men is actually quite a common practice within Rendille and Samburu communities, and is largely attributable to the fact that men cannot marry until they have completed their warrior phase, a period which could account for 12 years or so of their adult life.
John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and his subjects in their day to day attire.
The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look.

Gisele Buendchen Smoking - b&w Portrait with Jewelery, Fine Art Photography 1999
By Michel Comte
Located in Vienna, AT
Black-and-white Portrait of Topmodel Gisele Bündchen with luxurious jewelry and cigarette, photographed by Michel Comte in Cannes for Vogue Italia 1999.
All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request.
All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery.
In 1999, Star Photographer Michel Comte created a series of images capturing intimate moments with a young Gisele Bündchen in Cannes, France, for a Jewelry Campaign published in Vogue Italia. The highly praised artworks are now part of fashion and fine art history and are sought-after worldwide.
This black-and-white portrait shows the supermodel with wet hair and smeared makeup as if she had just come back from a swim in the ocean. Her head is tilted back slightly, and the look she is shooting the camera is somewhat condescending yet challenging. With one hand, she is brushing her messy hair out of her face, showing off the cigarette she is holding to the viewer. The grungy and rebellious image is juxtaposed by the lavish jewelry the Model is wearing: Big chandelier earrings...
