In this episode I hit the streets of Toronto with my Leica Q2 and a flash to capture "Caribana" also known as the Caribbean Carnival. I decided to approach this opportunity the same way I approach street photography… I want to tell a story! When it comes to Caribana, typically the focus is on the masqueraders (as it should be). BUT, as a street photographer and someone who likes to document the nuances of life, I decided to capture more than just the beautiful people ‘on di road’. Big thanks to adidas and the Toronto Revellers for having me. Side Note: This is the first time shooting with a flash in daylight!!!
