Photographing Brazil's Yanomami
Photographer Claudia Andujar first began taking photos of the remote Amazon tribe in the 1970s. Her images opened a window for the world into the lives of the Yanomami people.
In 1971 photographer Claudia Andujar began documenting the lives of a remote indigenous tribe in the Brazilian Amazon jungle. Claudia went on to take thousands of unique images of Yanomami men, women and children. Her photographs helped the campaign for recognition of the Yanomami's rights over their own land. Mike Lanchin has been hearing from Claudia, now in her 90s, about how she was received by the indigenous group when she first arrived in the Amazon, and how she won them over with her smile, and her camera.
