Procession, Sucre Cathedral, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

The Archbishop of Sucre entered the cathedral to celebrate a mass in a procession that passed below a graphic painting of a crucifixion. The painting and its ornate frame seem to radiate suffering as the religious officials bow while passing below it. I shot the scene from behind the procession to interpret the bowing heads as abstract symbols of humility, and also to match the light glowing on the capes of the celebrants to the glow of the figure in the painting.. Religious processions are a form of theatre, and by under exposing the image, the scene becomes darker and quite dramatic. The light source next to the painting animates the figure in the painting, making this image even more symbolic and interpretive than it otherwise would be.
