Dramatic images of young Wodaabe men dancing geerewol (Fig. 1, above) and yaake (Fig. 2, right) have circulated widely, emphasizing their elaborate dress, face paint, and facial gestures. Wodaabe photographs by Carol Beckwith first appeared in beautiful coffee table books such as Nomads of Niger (Fig. 1) and later in the two-volume African Ceremonies (Fig. 2) that she published with Angela Fisher, but they have also appeared in many other contexts.
