Bestival.

This Series of portraits are part of an ongoing book project with Bestival to be released in 2013. The book is a joint project with London based photographer Dan Smith and was inspired by Richard Avedon’s series, In the American West. We wanted to take the sitters out of the environment of the festival and shoot portraits of their amazing costume creations that now make up the largest fancy dress party in the world with over 50 000 people at a four day event.
