"Painted Elephants"
Recently I have discovered and fallen madly, completely, and utterly in love with the work of masterful portrait photographer Charles Freger (www.charlesfreger.com). His series focuses upon the uniform of the individual and the subtle positioning of the subject in contrast to its background.
In my mind, Freger's work can be considered a delightful visual ethnography. Every subject no matter how magnificently adorned or simply dressed receives his careful, attentive eye.  With curiosity and respect, his captures portray the essences of expressive cultural practices.
 
Freger's series "Wilder Mann" is an expose and collection of unique European Pagan cultural practices and traditional dress. Below are some of my most favorites.
