50,000 years of beauty
Australia is a land of immigrants, and this is its greatest asset. Today. The aboriginal population arrived here over 50,000 years ago via the Malay Archipelago and New Guinea islands. To learn more about this extraordinary people, we would like to present a series by aboriginal photographer Bobbi-lee Hille focusing on aboriginal babies.
Traditional tools and objects, paintings and much more tell a living story and shows us the beauty of traditions celebrating this indigenous culture."We have a warm climate most of the time. This helps the little ones sleep," explains Bobbi-lee Hille."I often sketch out ideas in a notebook and think of colour schemes and locations for my sessions."
