<p>A lovely little unposed moment from the Day of the Dead meet-up in Hoxton. The whole festival is about honouring departed ancestors through costume, music, and art, and the effort people put into their gear on the day was unreal.<br />
<br />
While the parade is usually a riot of bright colour, black and white just felt right for this one. Going monochrome strips away the distractions and lets the pure texture and attitude take over. I managed to catch her just as she raised both hands to adjust the brim of that feathered top hat, giving it a much more natural, dynamic feel than a stiff pose.<br />
<br />
The details really make it for me: the fishnet veil draped across her painted face, the dark eye shading, the heavy silver skull rings, and that studded wrist cuff. Classic London character—full of style, edge, and creative flair.</p>
