The story of Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degre has been wildspread, but should be posted about anyway. Born in Namibia to photographer parents Sylvia Robert and Alain Degre, she travelled extensively and lived an absolutely free and natural life: she counted an elephant as her brother, and was great friends with a leopard. Today, the little girl pictured in all these photos, is 23 and studies cinema in France.
