Myanmar, once known as Burma, is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia. A land of rugged beauty, it extends 1300 miles north to south, from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the 800 pristine islands of the Mergui Archipelago in the Andaman Sea. Myanmar is home to over 47 million people form over 140 different ethnic groups. Barry Broman has travelled the length and breadth of Myanmar capturing on film the people of this mysterious, isolated country. Be they the once fearsome sea gypsies, the extraordinary "giraffe ladies", the tattooed Chin, or Nagas who collected human heads as trophies, Broman has documented their presence in some 75 colour photographs, confirming that even today, Myanmar is a mosaic of mysterious and cultured peoples.
