WARRIOR POSE - A Huli man scowls down the barrel of the lens. THE HIGHLANDS, PAPUA NEW GUINEA: TRIBESMEN dolled up in vibrant multicoloured body paint stun as they DRESS FOR BATTLE. While the Huli tribe are fearsome warriors and hunters, women and men both have a soft spot for their hair as these spectacular shots show. A wide shot shows a father ? caked in paint and a tropical wig ? teaching his son to shoot an arrow. Another image reveals a colourful elder male wearing a plant reed through his nose. Men wear floral arrangements and dye their beards, with blood-red body paint and yellow faces to intimidate their enemies. These indigenous people live in The Highlands, Papua New Guinea, found in the mountainous Hela province of the Pacific nation. The tribe speak the languages of Huli and Tok Pisin but have acquired English skills in recent years and have welcomed visitors. This allowed talented photographer, Jim Zuckerman (72) from Nashville, USA to visit. / Jim Zuckerman /
