Midsummer morris dancers and their mysterious goat Caprihorn: Hollie Fernando’s best portrait
Hollie Fernando photographed the all-female Morris dancing group Boss Morris on Rodborough Common in Stroud for a summer solstice portrait. The shoot involved custom costumes, floral face decorations by member Emma, and the group's goat character Caprihorn, inspired by a medieval manuscript. Fernando documented their rehearsal and posed them on a hill, creating a staged, storytelling image that celebrates the evolution of Morris dancing from a male-dominated tradition to one where women now account for more than half of Britain's dancers.
