About the Book
Texts in English and French / Textes en anglais et français
English:
The Maasai people are a famous community in East Africa. Facing a political and economic model which pushes away Maasai ancestral morals, the Maasai people grow towards a hazardous future and requires a transition. Alternatives to the age-old customs of a well-anchored culture struggle to settle.
ASHÊ is a short photographic collection rising from an encounter with Maasai people. Revealing humanitarian issues and a clash of civilizations, this book first and foremost evokes an extraordinary community.
Français:
Les Maasaï sont un peuple emblématique d'Afrique de l'Est. Confrontée à un modèle politique et économique qui s’éloigne tant de leurs valeurs ancestrales, les Maasaï sont aujourd’hui une communauté au futur plus qu’incertain et peine à évoluer. L'élaboration d'alternatives aux vieilles coutumes plus que jamais ancrées dans la culture reste un défi difficile à mettre en place.
ASHÊ est un court reportage photographique issu d’une rencontre avec les Maasaï. Au-delà des problématiques humanitaires et du choc de civilisations, cet ouvrage évoque un peuple extraordinaire.

About the Creator
By discovering new cultures and immersion in foreign countries, Anne-Catherine has found a self-fulfillment through travel and photography. Each country has its own culture, beliefs and environment. The encounters with local people are an enormous pit of emotions and an incredible source of inspiration. Her career as a biologist has very little contributed to her abilities as a reporter but has sharpen her curiosity and made her deeply think about the world we live in. Therefore as an amateur photographer and a neophyte narrator, she is eager to share these extraordinary encounters and memories with readers.
