From Beach Street me with my cousin brother and his 'skinny alien' girl friend planned to move to Chew's Bridge. Before entering Chew's Bridge, we saw Chinese Opera show preparation before the show for the 'Hungry Ghost' Month festival.
We were shooting from outside in the beginning, then we saw a group of outsider/visitors climbed into the backstage to snap photos. At first we were hesitate to go in too, then I decided just climb in then only decide how if they not allow us to go into the backstage.
Surprisingly they did not blocked us, they just did the make-up without care about what we did. It was my first time in my life managed to enter the Chinese Opera Show's backstage.
One thing I really respect all of them is they don't even need make-up artists, all they just did on their own with a small mirror!
Preparing
Applying foundation
Eye brow
Mouth
Little light reflected on her face
Concentrate
Focus
Do it yourself
Deep thoughtI really wish I can do it more in future, but now days we hardly can see Chinese Opera Show around. It's sad to see it slowly disappear, and I really hope that the tradition will never dies.
Chinese Opera!
