Thread: want to make a costume cheat sheet, need your photos

I've started this project a few times and dammit this time I want to finish it..l;,

I'd like to create a thumbnail gallery that will be published on my site of dancers in different colored costumes. I'll need photos of all kinds of dancers in all colors of costumes **but would really love if a good handful of them are costumes such as Pharaonics, Hanan, Sim, Eman..something you would find in the Dahlal catalog. They tend to use some of the same similar colors over and over each season and a lot of the veils I have created have been made to GO WITH these costumes.

So what am hoping to do is showcase the costume colors and then provide a link or two to veils that will go with that costume.

You'll receive full credit, photographer credit, and your weblink on the page. My site gets HIGH visibility..I'll also feature it in the blog and probably on etsy and ebay pages as applicable.

You don't have to have an akai veil in the photo, it just has to be a clear enough photo so you can see the color of the costume, and it should be pretty obvious what the dominant color of the costume is (it can be multi so long as it's overall one dominant color)


I'm going to cc Michael Baxter on this since I love his work and know a lot of the dancers he has worked with but please send pics if you would like to be added. As i receive photos of costumes I'll cross those colors off the list. Would LOVE an assortment of dancers in all shapes and sizes.

Send images to : akaisilksinfo@yahoo.com with info about your name, website, photographer name

again I'll welcome any photos but am looking for photos in costumes that are dominantly one color
