Stepping down from their various positions of work in the Kenyan government during the 70s, these women retired to the ultimate baby girl lifestyle.
They now spend their time travelling to exotic tourists sites in Africa and partying exclusively.
Catching up with three of them in Somalia, self-taught Kenyan digital artist and photographer, Osborne Macharia, together with his team created beautiful portraits of them just in time for International Women’s Day.
After failing an exam while studying Architecture at university, Osborne stumbled on the work of sensational photographer, Joey Lawrence and got inspired. He has since used his pictures as a means of showing the beautiful side of his country to the world.
Here are the portraits from the Project Nyanye shoot:
Mrs S. Were
She was the Economist and Personal Advisor to the Kenyan president between 1972 and 1992.
Ms. M. Adhiambo
She served as the Minister of Trade and Industry from 1972 to 1980.
Mrs Kamau Njuguna
She was the Governor of Central Bank of Kenya between 1980 and 1985.
Being one of the finalists of the 2016 HasselBlad Masters photography competition, Osborne has also worked for international brands such as Coca-Cola, Samsung, Toyota and so many others.
