A Comparative View of the Human and Animal Frame

Maynard Switzer

Amongst the large portfolio of photographer Maynard Switzer, I found imagery that documents the vibrant and diverse looks of worldwide cultures. From China to Morocco, Bolivia to India and everywhere in between, colour is vital for the independent expression of ceremonial, national and day to day attire.

 

 

 

Painted Faces

On Sunday I made an appearance at my friend Amy's birthday tattoo party and though I don't want one myself I did enjoy the face paints! Nikki, pictured next to me in the top image, did a surprisingly good job on my blue tiger face and it was a fun afternoon! I also went out on the Wednesday for the first time in a while, wearing my beloved River Island blazer and bird skull necklace - oh how I love them! Overall, it's been an odd week as this was my last at the CDG jobcentre course so I thought I'd have some of my friends I met there over for films/food etc and as you can see Hannah tried out my fake furs! The headdress Tash is wearing will be used soon with Obsidian AIC, so photos will follow once that has taken place. Also on the horizon is my millinery internship, again I'll update more once it starts properly and the same goes for my SoFair Social Enterprise voluntary position.
