Samaba from Japan@8~grotesque~ Photo

Photographer’s Note

Why SANBA in Japan? I cannot explain the reason clearly, but SAMBA carnivals have now become one of the most famous seasonal event of summer in Japan.
Above all, ASAKUSA SAMBA carnival is the most famous and crowded one, the number of audiences are around 500 thousands, so much crowded. Motive of her team was "life", I do not know the connection with the meaning of the skeletons, nut anyway that was grotesque.

Hi Takero,

I guess that shooting festivals and parades is all about capturing the fun and excitement. You've done it perfectly here with your subject in full regalia, communicating the feeling of celebration that is going on.
What I like most about your shot, other than the great expression, is that you have brilliantly fill the frame with your subject.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hi Takero,

Eye catching not only for the curvaceous woman but the death accessories, especially the hands cuping the hmmm ...

Thanks for sharing,

Dear Takero,
this is ... really, something unusual! the skeleton bones, the skulls... is this a tribute to the modern civilization and moral? Maybe... but whatever it is, the photo is very good :) I think you captured the essence of the moment - and at a very good POV!
Kind regards
and very best wishes!
