Portraits of the Disappearing Amazon. The traditional tribes that dwell in the dense jungle of Peru’s Amazon region are disappearing at an alarming rate.  Each village faces individual threats, which include logging, the acquisition of and devastation of land by oil companies, war, illness, climate and modernisation. In 2012, I embarked on a photographic journey to document the traditional dress of these tribes – a visual representation of their traditional culture.  Most of these costumes are no longer worn on a daily basis.  For many of the tribes, tourism is the only factor keeping the ways of their ancestors from being forgotten.  Working with NGOs, anthropologists and locals, I was privileged to gain access to remote communities, some of which have had very little contact with the outside world.
