Traje de Maga: Canarian Traditional Dress

The black lava and white register

Lanzarote is black volcanic land with white cubic houses. Its vines are planted in hollows dug into the lava and ringed with stone walls. The traje de maga is the women's dress for the romerias: a striped skirt, an apron, a white blouse and a small straw hat set over a white headscarf.

The photographs keep the black lava and the white walls as the values, with the crimson of the skirt's stripes as the one hue and a sash echoing it once. One frame is against a white house with a green-shuttered door, the straw hat over the white scarf and the striped skirt in hard island sun. One is close on the brim and the scarf framing the face. One is in La Geria, the vines in their black hollows and the volcanoes behind her.

What comes out is photoreal: nine photographs of you in three settings, in the look of a Canarian romeria. The dress is worn for the feast; the island is the backdrop, not a set.

How to photograph yourself for a traje de maga portrait

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand in open shade or near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and flash.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses. A clear, front-facing photo is the best start.
4. A natural expressionA calm look or a relaxed smile carries over best. Avoid a stiff pose.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Then this pack and every other pack on Narcis can be made with your face.
