Fashion show spectators, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

Hundreds of spectators crowd the barriers surrounding the fashion show held at Sucre’s central plaza. I photographed a handful of them here, contrasting varying responses to the show. I take advantage of the theatrical lighting that is spilling over from the nearby runway to bring an otherworldly look to this image. The three people closest to my camera are the keys to my interpretation. Their arm and hand gestures all vary, as do their facial responses. They have come here from different countries and are watching the same thing at the same time, but in differing ways and in differing lighting.

Thanks, Steve. That's what I liked about this image as well. I am sure the woman with the program in her hand is staring into my camera, while those around her are caught up in the fashions being displayed at the moment. The colors are magical as well -- there are at least three different kinds of lighting effects here, creating an otherworldly effect.
