Like every year I visited Des Moines in Iowa this year for Asian Heritage Festival. One of the interesting part of this festival is the cultural fashion show, where the amateurs models display their country’s cultural outfits. It’s a nice experience to understand the multiple cultures – the traditional dresses they wear, the songs they sing, the food they eat, the sports they play.
This year I wanted to capture a complete coverage of the cultural fashion show and I must admit it without bragging that I was successful. Although post processing of hundreds of pictures that I have taken is a tedious job (photography is just my hobby – I got other things to do besides my professional job), I have promised to myself that I will do it slowly one country at a time. Visit the following links to see some of my semi-professional fashion photography work categorized by the country.
- Cultural Fashion – Nepal
- Cultural Fashion – Japan
- Cultural Fashion – Thailand
- Cultural Fashion – China
- Cultural Fashion – Taidam
- Cultural Fashion – Vietnam
- Cultural Fashion – Burma (Myanmar)
- Cultural Fashion – India
- Cultural Fashion – Phillipines
(If a link is not available above for any specific country, possibly I have not complete doing the post processing – I hope to finish them as soon as possible)
