Last month, June 18 to be exact, I ventured out to Coney Island for the annual Mermaid Parade. It's the perfect place to capture images of people in costumes.
As you may know, I feel that portrait photography isn't my strong point. But, I knew moments after I started taking photos that sunny Saturday, that the majority of my photos were going to be portraits. What I hadn't envisioned was that I would create a black and white series. The colorful costumes are wonderful sights but when I started editing I kept seeing them sans color!
More photos HERE
In keeping with the water theme, the above images capture a couple of striking Viking ladies.
Above, the first couple were a part of the parade ... a sailor and his bride, again keeping with the water theme of the parade. The second couple apparently got married on the beach after the parade.
I didn't turn all of the photos black and white. Color images can be found HERE.
