These stunning photographs show the faces of some of the world's most rarely seen tribes people. Captured wearing elaborate head dresses, the fascinating images give an insight into the unique rituals and traditions of the Dani and Asmat tribes of New Guinea Island, Indonesia. Photographer Andrey Gudkov, 42, was granted the rare privilege of spending time with the indigenous people of New Guinea Island, Indonesia. Made from brightly coloured feathers and furs, the impressive creations are used in ceremonial gatherings and are often a symbol of status.
