A Magazine Curated By BAILES 2025

Description

A full-length black and white studio portrait photographed by Diego Bendezu for the BAILES project in A Magazine Curated By. The barefoot subject stands against a textured studio backdrop wearing an elaborate ceremonial costume composed of a layered straw cape and skirt, a bone or tooth necklace, and a tall headdress decorated with feathers and figures. In one hand, the subject grips a tall wooden staff carved with a winding serpent motif, while holding a cluster of dried rattles in the other. Studio lighting evenly illuminates the tactile fibers and intricate adornments across the monochromatic frame.
