Photographer David Lazar, 30, captured a series of portraits of tribe members, including a young boy with piercing green eyes and a Dessana chief in full head dress. He also photographed children playing pan pipes, colourful Macaw birds sat on a tree branch and a mother and grandmother kissing a small child.

Surrounded by trees, waterfalls and tropical wildlife, this Amazon tribe is a world away from the beaches of Rio. These striking photos show members of the indigenous Dessana tribe, which is situated nearly 3,000 miles away from Brazil's capital. It is only accessible by boat from the city of Manaus.
