How one photographer found his own identity by documenting the Maasai people in Kenya
In short: Brooklyn-based creative director Lougè Delcy returns to Kenya to reconnect with the Maasai. This documentary follows his journey of cultural immersion and artistic growth as he prepares for a solo exhibition, exploring how his experiences shape his understanding of connection and self.
Lougè Delcy’s creative practice is deeply tied to his personal history, with his current project serving as a follow-up to his initial 2018 visit to Africa. By embedding himself within Maasai communities, he aims to capture the strength and traditions of the people through his lens.
The project highlights the intersection of storytelling and identity, positioning photography as a tool for rediscovery. As Delcy prepares for his first solo exhibition, the film examines how his artistic process serves as a bridge between his background in Brooklyn and his experiences in Kenya.
