About

A group of women dressed in matching traditional pale pink hanbok garments with dark red sashes hold large, ornate folding fans decorated with pink floral patterns and bright magenta feathers aloft. The subjects are positioned outdoors with their arms raised, looking upward against a clear light blue sky. The composition captures the symmetry and vibrant color palette of the ceremonial performance. The natural daylight accentuates the smooth satin texture of the attire and the detailed artwork on the paper fans. Captured by London-based photographer Catherine Hyland.
