Description

This black and white image features two performers playing traditional Japanese taiko drums against a dark backdrop. The male drummer on the left strikes a drum with focused concentration, wearing a dark happi coat and a headband. Beside him, the female drummer raises her drumstick mid-strike with an expressive, energetic expression. The dramatic high-contrast lighting accentuates the dynamic motion of the performance. The photograph was captured in New York by photographer Doug Menuez.
