EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and energetic print captured by Fabrice Coffrini, we are transported to the heart of Switzerland's offbeat Color Run. The image showcases a participant and his furry companion, both completely covered in a kaleidoscope of colored powders. Taken during the Color Run event on September 12,2015, in Lausanne, this photograph encapsulates the essence of joy and celebration. Inspired by the traditional Hindu festival Holi, where people throw natural colored powders to welcome spring after winter's end, the Color Run has become an international phenomenon since its inception in the United States in 2012. The sheer enthusiasm radiating from both man and dog is palpable as they proudly display their multicolored transformation. Their beaming smiles reflect not only their participation but also their shared bond amidst this explosion of hues. Fabrice Coffrini skillfully captures every detail with precision - from the vivid pigments adorning their bodies to the dynamic movement frozen in time. This horizontal composition invites us into a world filled with laughter, camaraderie, and pure exhilaration. As we gaze upon this scene through AFP's lens, we cannot help but feel inspired by these individuals embracing life's vibrancy without reservation or inhibition. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes just a dash of color to infuse our lives with happiness and create unforgettable memories that transcend borders and cultures alike.
