I took this image a little while ago of my proud indigenous son. He inspires me every day to be a better person and a father he can learn from. There are some horrible acts of hatred and violence happening at present and it's not good for the soul. Just wanted to share. #indigenousboy #aboriginalculture #didgeridoo #digitaldreamtime #saltwaterdreaming #kariyarra #porthedland #westernaustralia #southhedland #music #creation #indigenous #quandamooka #boytoman #indigenousculture #naidoc #handsomeboy #brisbanephotographer #culturalrespect #strong #portraiture #portraiturephotography #lovemyboy #respect #smart #livingthedream #australia #cameraproau #nikonaustralia #documentaryphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLIl2NnpZe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vyirpg807uex

The initiation ceremony of a young boy can start early. Skin names are given, personal totems may be gifted, my son will be given the honour of becoming a Lore Man. Once he reaches puberty (usually indicated by chin/facial hair) He will again be taken by me and my Elders to undertake a pathway to teach language, customs and knowledge. He will be taught the most important role he must undertake and that is to protect this land and be the custodian of country for his children, so once he returns back to the Dreaming to be with me and his Ancestors, his family can enjoy and feel connected and protected by this land. I took this photograph just before he started his initial journey as a young boy. Taken at night on a bright full moon. #indigenousboy #aboriginalculture #didgeridoo #digitaldreamtime #saltwaterdreaming #kariyarra #porthedland #westernaustralia #southhedland #music #creation #indigenous #quandamooka #boytoman #indigenousculture #naidoc #handsomeboy #brisbanephotographer #culturalrespect #strong #portraiture #portraiturephotography #lovemyboy #respect #smart #livingthedream #australia #cameraproau #nikonaustralia #documentaryphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/BsX1cMVnxYl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ve5xfywyvxxl

Learning to play the Didgeridoo is part of a boys journey (depending from what part of country your tribe is from) is a very important path to take. Playing it as part of his sacred Initiation Ritual that has been performed by 380+ generations before you is a privilege, honour and very spiritual. I stood there watching and photographing him play the beautiful sounds in this magnificent gorge, knowing that my Ancestors would have been proud to watch another mighty warrior growing to be a man and protector of this land. #indigenousboy #aboriginalculture #didgeridoo #digitaldreamtime #saltwaterdreaming #kariyarra #porthedland #westernaustralia #southhedland #music #creation #indigenous #quandamooka #boytoman #indigenousculture #naidoc #handsomeboy #brisbanephotographer #culturalrespect #strong #portraiture #portraiturephotography #lovemyboy #respect #smart #livingthedream #australia #cameraproau #nikonaustralia #documentaryphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSShxbHxrn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k5m3zx5qbqqv

My son (right) with one of his mates. From a shoot I did with them today. Doesn't matter what color your skin is, what culture you are from. Acceptance comes from the heart and respect comes from how you treat others. Doesn't get any more simple than that. 🖤💛❤ #indigenousboy #aboriginalculture #didgeridoo #digitaldreamtime #saltwaterdreaming #kariyarra #porthedland #westernaustralia #southhedland #music #creation #indigenous #quandamooka #boytoman #indigenousculture #naidoc #handsomeboy #brisbanephotographer #culturalrespect #strong #portraiture #portraiturephotography #lovemyboy #respect #smart #livingthedream #australia #cameraproau #nikonaustralia #documentaryphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/Brcl1E5AZUA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19v332ah7mpxo
