Sergeant John S Kabia

Portraits of servicemen from the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF).

The portraits were taken at mid day with the soldiers pushed back into the shade with the ambient light producing soft highlights on the face and giving a catchlight in the eyes. They were taken at a camp in Kono, Sierra Leone.

The country has been the centre of attention for overseas aid since mid 2014 when an outbreak of Ebola started to spread across the country.
