Many people are unaware that St Louis, Mo is home to the second largest Mardi Gras celebration next to New Orleans. In fact many people are unaware that it is even celebrated outside of New Orleans. This year St Louis did not disappoint drawing large crowds. Although the weather was cold paraders still enjoyed themselves.
One of my biggest challenges was documenting the celebration in a way that was tasteful. Mardi Gras can get wild with all the drinking and nudity so I knew it would be challenging to document the celebration in a tasteful way. My solution was to figure out angles that would show the celebration but without the nudity.
