Maracatu dancer during Carnaval in Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil

Maracatu dancer during Carnaval in Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil
During Carnaval I was asked to photograph a Maracatu musical group in Olinda, which is near Recife in the Northeast of Brazil. Maracatu's rhythmic sound is driven by a powerful percussion section and this is one of their dancers photographed at dusk. I used a 50mm lens wide open with tri x film and floated beside her to make this image.
She had an aura of sensuous majesty that I will never forget. Like the beloved Yemanja.
