‘The Mission' by Nicolas Valois Turns Primitive Hunters Hau

I’m always a fan of tribal-attired editorials, and ‘The Mission’ by Nicolas Valois surely targets my attention with its bow and arrow props. Featured within the Geil Magazine Fall/Winter 2010/11 issue, these truly striking photographs capture the indigenous and exotic.

Styled by Benjamin Armand with hair by Vincent de Moro and makeup by Topolino, ‘The Mission’ by Nicolas Valois exposes loosely clothed men in the character of native warriors, pirates and gypsies.
