El Carnaval de Cádiz

• Photographer
  Fran Fernández, Spain

Cadiz Carnival is a declared international tourist festival held annually.
And in it we can distinguish two parts. On the one hand the contest groupings in various
forms, (Coro, Comparsa, Chirigota and Quartet), acting at the Gran Teatro Falla; and on
the other hand, and once the famous night's final Falla, carnival starts on the street.
Clusters are the result of work and dedication for several months many people as authors,
designers, tailors, makeup artists, comparsistas, etc.
His work coalesces into character.
In this project we try to show the final result, embodied in its "type". The term "type",
in Cadiz, is not only used to refer to disguise, but encompasses the costume and character
or spirit of the character they purport to represent. This is, ultimately, the real
protagonist of the carnival; the the character that comes to life through my portraits.
The aim of the project aims to capture the essence of each character.
