Over the last 40 years photographers and explorers Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have travelled to some of the remotest parts of Africa, taking pictures of festivals and tribal practices and publishing several books. In their latest publication, African Twilight: Vanishing Rituals and Ceremonies of the African Continent, the two photographers have focused on images of age-old traditions that they fear are in danger of dying out. They spoke to Focus on Africa about their new work, and Carol Beckwith began by describing a picture of an ancient ritual in Burkina Faso. (Photo: Kalin Harvest Masks, Burkina Faso.
