]]> Alexander Khimushin has been traveling the world for 9 years now, visiting 85 countries in the process. Seeing that people are the most amazing part of all the destinations he visited, Alexander decided to “celebrate beauty and diversity of the world through the portraits of ordinary people” through his project The World In Faces.

The project focuses primarily on indigenous groups, who are keeping their culture and traditions alive in this modern time. You can check out some of the best photos from the project below.

Oroqen girl. I have just came back from a remote part of Inner Mongolia province of China where I took this portrait. Oroqen people (Orochon, Orochen) are ethnic minority that is related to Evenki people of Russia. They can understand each other language for about 70%. Until the early 1950s Orochen people were nomadic, leaving in conical dwellings made from the skins of the animals and bark of the trees. They were mainly hunters until 1990s, until the government banned hunting in the area. Traditionally animal fur and skins are used for their clothing. They are shamanist by religion, however the last Orochon shaman died in October 2000. Orochon means a raindeer man in their language as they livestyle was heavily dependent on raindeer hearding. There are almost no raindeers left today. Orochon people try hard to keep their culture alive, but it is not easy, because they can not maintain their traditional way of living anymore. #theworldinfaces #worldinfaces #oroqen #orochen #orochon #people #portrait #ethnicminority #minority #china #evenki #ewenki #russia #peace #love #diversity #tolerance #asia #asiangirl #beauty #beautifulworld #amazingworld #tribe #girl #ethnicgroup #innermongolia

Last year I was travelling Central Asia for 5 months and covered about 30,000 km behind the wheel. One of the most unforgettable experiences for me was visiting Afghanistan – the country that has been torn by war for the last 39 years. Yet there I met one of the most hospitable and peaceful people – the Wakhis. This portraits I took in one of the villages of the Wakhan Valley. While I was there Taliban were getting closer and closer, they were just about 40 km from the Valley. Wakhis were afraid that they would kill them all if they come. I'm not sure about the security situation now, the last news from there I heard several months ago and back then it was getting worse. Can you imagine that this elderly woman has been living in fear ever since she was young? I hope that peace will finally come to this beautiful land. The people who live there do not deserve to suffer. #theworldinfaces #worldinfaces #wakhi #wakhan #wakhancorridor #wakhanvalley #portrait #people #minority #afghanistan #pamir #pakistan #xinjiang #tajikistan #diversity #ethnic #ethno #peace #love #tolerance #indigenous #native #centralasia

Nyangatom tribe woman. This tribe inhabits remote border area of South Sudan and Ethiopia, living on the both sides. Women of Nyangatom tribe wear a lot of different beads, which they never take off. As a young girl, she gets a first strand of beads as a gift from her father and for all the years of her life she adds more and more. It's not uncommon to see a woman wearing several kilograms of beads. I took this portrait of an elderly Nyangatom woman in December 2014. The World in Faces project by Alexander Khimushin. One new portrait every day. #theworldinfaces #worldinfaces #people #tribe #tribal #africa #southsudan #ethiopia #ethnic #minority #ethno #portrait #travelphotography #native #indigenous #omo #nilotic #nyangatom #bume #donyiro #natgeo #facesoftheworld #diversity
