Shazequin: “Changing the Story”
November 5-18, 2016
Espaço Porto Cruz
Largo Miguel Bombarda, 23
Vila Nova de Gaia
Portugal

This picture is from the event opening, which I attended at Porto Cruz.

There’s an incredible amount of detail to these mannequins, far too much detail to capture in a single photo — or even two. You really have to see them for yourself, up close. They’re at Porto Cruz for only a short time, so I’m posting one preview picture from the opening for now, because the photos require a stack of editing.

If these fantastical creatures look familiar, it’s because I’ve been photographing them for over a year. They even have their own album. Each Shazequin is completely unique and hand painted by Shaz Bilyard. For more info, see the website: http://www.shazequin.com/
