This series portrays the various tribes present in Arunachal Pradesh with their traditional clothing. Arunachal Pradesh is a remote region there is the highest concentration of ethnic group in India, 26 main and more than one hundred sub-tribes. This area is probably one of the last outposts where communities live a primitive existence, leading a rural life. Each tribe follows its own social, cultural and religious practices. The traditions of these tribes over the years are slowly disappearing, globalisation is the main problem to pass on customs and traditions to new generations.

Alessandro Malaguti enters the world of photography and after various approaches he finds his inspiration in travel photography making it a real passion. During his travels around the world, he is interested in discovering different cultures entering into empathy with various ethnic groups, in full respect of people and their customs, he menages to capture emotions, looks and traditions. His purpose, beyond that of transmitting the beauty of cultural diversity, is also the artistic and emotional value of every shot.
