Digitally enhancing an already powerful aura I captured.
Decorated by children and floated on the river Thames each August 6th to remember the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki 6th August 1945.
These Maiko (apprentice Geisha) were drawing quite a crowd in Kyoto. I asked their permission which was granted to photograph them photographing themselves. Capturing these trainee traditionalists capturing themselves using a camera phone was a serendipitous moment. They are standing outside Shichimi, a dried red pepper store that has been in business for 360 years. The Japanese enjoy sprinkling dried red peppers on their noodles.

A bit of how this came to be:
This took alot of time and expense in addition to the time and expense I've spent thus far on my photography journey. First off, buying the masks, the LED lights for their eyes, fishing wire, reflector backdrop (the tinsel I borrowed). Out of shot my tripod stands and suspension bar and three ring lights.
Then there was the 75 minute drive each way and petrol to be resident house photographer at the Masquerade Ball event but this gave me access to many wonderful models and sartorial options provided by including Mothy and Antonia who are the subjects here
The lighting at the venue was not controllable enough to deliver the impact I desired at time of shooting for my vision (I try and achieve what I want in camera) so then there's the time spent post editing.
All this said, I'm satisfied the effort delivered the desired outcome, I hope you enjoy it too.

Happy year of the Dragon to you all.
