These are absolutely stunning shots. Kenya is truly a country of great beauty – I have lived in Kenya almost all my life and I feel that these photos truly captured the emotion behind the people of Kenya. How were you able to capture such emotion?

These are such beautiful pictures. The subjects have such dignity and the serious look on the faces of the boys struck me deeply. That was counterbalanced by the laughter of the young girl.
Excellent photography and excellent subjects.
