These images document the everyday lives of the men, women and children of the Mentawai tribe, a native population in Indonesia famous for their decorative tattoos and the practise of sharpening their teeth.
The tribe, who live a semi-nomadic life on the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra, believes that sharpened teeth makes them more attractive to the opposite sex.
Muhammad Fauzy Chaniagom, 19, was able to spend four days with the tribe last month, and has managed to capture the life on the islands as the Mentawai hunt and forage for food.
The tribe consists of some 64,000 people, living in homes are known as Umas which are built using bamboo, wood and grass, and are furnished with the skulls of hunted prey.
