Miami Carnival 2016

Thanks to Revel Nation for taking care of me on the road again this year.  I had a blast and looking forward to next year already.

Miami Carnival 2015

Miami Carnival 2015 is in the books and I must say I had a blast. Thanks to Revel Nation for making sure I was well taken care of. Hope you enjoy the pics

Miami Carnival 2013

Miami Carnival 2013 is now a thing of the past. The carnival was held at Sun Life Stadium and I'm definitely not a fan of this location for carnival. However the company I was with made me over look the venue and enjoyed what the carnival had to offer. Most of my pictures are from the band Generation X - that's the band most of my friends were in. Hope you enjoy the pics.

The caribbean community is South FLorida has one thing on their minds for this weekend and that is Carnival. Carnival as it is celebrated in Trinidad and Tobago is also celebrated in cities worldwide. As with other Carnivals, many participants wear elaborate costumes, often decorated with feathers and sequins. Carnival bands are organized groups made up of participants who pay for costumes fashioned by a designer and assembled by teams of volunteers. The costumed participants dance through the streets to the sounds of a steel band, a soca band or a d.j. - this is called "playing mas'". The image below was inspired by carnival but with my twist to it. The image was captured in Kingston Jamaica at Coronation Market. I have to say that this was one of my craziest shoots to date. I will be revealing a few more pics so stay tuned.

If you're playing Mas in Miami carnival and would like to participate in my on going carnival costume shoot please try and save your costume with head piece and send me an email letting me know you would like to be apart of the project. Unfortunately I will not be in town for Miami Carnival on Sunday so I will miss my ritual of photographing the event.
