Shooting Thaipusam

Last month, while I was in Kuala Lumpur, I finally had the chance to photograph the infamous Thaipusam festival. Upfront, I wasn’t really sure what to expect but it was much nicer than I could ever hoped for. I was joined by Edmond (edmondstreetz) and he recommended that we should at night in order to avoid the masses of photographers who would inevitably get in the way of each other. So, we arrived there at around midnight and shot until the morning and it was insane. If you haven’t watched it, check out the video to learn more about the festival and to see us shooting and trying to stay awake during the night.

Below the video you’ll find photos that are included in the video and some additional ones.
