A Magazine Curated By BAILES 2025

Description

Photographer Diego Bendezu captures a full-length portrait of a dancer for the BAILES project featured in A Magazine Curated By. The subject is posed in a wide squat with hands on hips, fully masked in a dramatic multi-tiered demonic dragon headpiece with protruding wings, horns, and dragon motifs. The regalia includes a heavily embroidered winged breastplate with fringe detailing, a neckerchief, loose trousers, and two-tone lace-up boots. Rendered in monochromatic tones, the high-contrast studio portrait stands out sharply against a mottled, textured backdrop.
