Secret Garden ~ Blooming people!

31 Aug

It’s not always flowers that I love to photograph but also the human blooms that arrive in the fields of England when the marquees are set up, the sound sytem plugged in and the festival fancy dress adorned. This year I visited Secret Garden Party for my gorgeous friend Kim’s music website neverenoughnotes and had an utter ball surreptitiously snapping the beautiful ones…enjoy!

    Beautiful people and place! Reminds me of Cosmic Love a song by Florence + The Machine.

    Love the face painting too!

    Beautiful photography at a beautiful event! It must’ve been amazing to see so many unique figures milling about. There was a similar event in my hometown, called The Mermaid Show! Check it out here if you’re curious: http://www.rcreader.com/art/making-a-splash-mermaid-show/

    What is beauty?

    • Tori September 1, 2010 at 6:58 pm #

      Heya tinku, thank you for commenting. What is beauty? I call the people beautiful in this series as they express to me a purity of spirit that allows their joy and being to shine through. What about you?

    Some absolute beauts here! I wasn’t at SGP this year, but did go to Shambala… here you will find as much if not even more colour, crafts and secret tunnels than in the Garden. The mud dampened not a single heart or spirit.x

    • Tori September 1, 2010 at 7:01 pm #

      Thank you! Next year then, Shambala! Secret tunnels sound fabulous :)

  13. artwyrd September 1, 2010 at 8:55 am #

  43. Jess August 31, 2010 at 10:21 pm #

    Hey I was just logging onto my account when I saw your post. Is the Tori Green who took these photos also the Tori Green that worked at Adventure Unlimited a few years back? By the way I really like the images.

    • Tori August 31, 2010 at 10:25 pm #

      Heya Jess, I have never worked for Adventure Unlimited but I do love unlimited adventures! Thanks for your lovely comment x

    Great pictures! I think the size is distorted by the website though so they’re hard to appreciate fully.
