Salvador, Bahia (Brazil). Carnaval is probably most famous in Rio, yet for a festa in the streets it’s hard to beat Salvador. This photograph is one of 22 I’m offering until midnight tonight in a 6×9 image size for $125. Shipping included for U.S. and international flat rate. These archival pigment ink prints are limited edition by size ( I cannot print in this size again) and by the 5 day sales deadline. See link in my profile here or go to BurnMagazine.org I like to get in the middle of things and made friends with these men hours before they were made up for the parade through the city. By the time they were in the thick of it I was able to be in the best position simply because they knew me and my moves and I theirs. It’s a spontaneous ballet of sorts moving in and out without interrupting their flow, without tripping and falling while walking backwards in the dark, and maintaining control over the lighting for something you’ve never seen before and have no idea what’s coming next. I used a Leica M6 and Velvia film and a small strobe on camera for this photograph published in NatGeo and my book “Divided Soul” (Phaidon). #bahia #brazil #carnaval
