la dance des masques Photo

Photographer’s Note

Accroché aux falaises de BANDIAGARA, ce village m'offre un moment magique avec cette danse des masques. Un groupe d'hommes, habillés de bleu indigo et coiffés d'un chapeau peul, joue des percussions, tandis qu'un autre, aux costumes trés colorés, danse quelquefois même sur des échasses. On appelle cela la danse des masques car tous les danseurs sont affublés d'un masque bizarre, ayant chacun une signification trés précise, masque qui semble trés lourd et trés difficile à porter.

Hi Daniel, what a great composition. The three guys on the stilts perfectly balanced by the three guys in the opposite corner. Full of interest and colour. Good notes too, concise and to the point. Best regards, Roberto

Hi Daniel,
I like this shot, it is nice and balanced with the group of men on stits on the one side and the other group of men standing on the other side, all balanced out by the one man sitting in between. Great composition, colours and textures. A very interesting shot.
Regards
Wanda

Hi Daniel

This is a wonderful and interesting photo, that seems like making a story. I have wanting to be here, Mali, for a long time but no chance yet.
Great shot!

Bonjour Daniel,

This is a great story-telling kind of picture. The three men on stilts seem almost comical and the rock shape on the right is almost surreal. Quality work, though I am a bit confused about the Peul hats, I thought this was Dogon territory?

A very fascinating shot Daniel. I love how you placed the different people in this frame. The performers on the stilts are very striking, and capture your attention. But also the others in more subtle clothing and distinctive hats on the right are also incredibly interesting.

Regards,
David
