Opera Queen - Peoplephotography by worldcapture Week #10

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

She's the Opera Queen...

You should hear her sing... Her movements, her costume...
There's no denying ~ all eyes are on her, she commands the stage!

I caught her at Chinese New Year during this special performance by Miss Wu Hong Fei from China which was staged for the launch of the new year celebrations.

For more photos and my experience of the occasion, you may read about it here.

I wanted an old photograph look here
Hence a new edit was done
Also, to emphasise her face with less distraction from her elaborate costume, which is kinda hard as it is exquisite!
And has the brightest colours possible - that's Chinese opera for you!
Hope I managed to achieve an ageless look... in keeping with the tradition of Chinese operas of old
Totally theatrical! Wouldn't you agree...?!

Lol... That, has happened to me too, believe it or not! :D
Thank you very much!!

I would love to see her perform

Hmmm, I couldn't find any video of it, but here's an introduction video and another, more on backstage action I found online; I guess you can find more on Chinese opera if you're interested... :) Cheers!

Very colorful costume on a lady who knows how to show it, @ackhoo. Very well done having in mind you had a smartphone only :)

Awww... Thank you very much!! Especially for considering the smartphone angle... :)
