National Pyrotechnic Festival in Tultepec, Mexico

The National Pyrotechnic Festival is like most festivals. Food, rides, music, and dancing are involved, but the biggest thrills are the amazing fireworks displays. Tultepec is the largest producer of fireworks in all of Mexico and Pyrotechnicians come to compete in contests that choreograph fireworks with music.

The National Pyrotechnic Festival is quite a sight to see, but until now photographs did not do it justice. New York-beased photographer Thomas Prior changed that when he traveled to there with his camera in tow. Here is a small selection of his Tultepec photo series. Be sure to check out the rest of them, and his other works on his website.

Photographer Cherlie Engman does a magnificent job in capturing the three stunning models, Antonina Vasylchenko, Victoria Tuaz and Valeriya Melnik in a beautiful setting. The whole shoot has that sort of Jalouse/Vintage vibe to it, which we admire so much. It’s actually the first time we’ve seen a picture showing a girl, covering her boobs with melons and it didn’t even look cheap. Just enjoy it, seriously.
