Fashion With A Twist at Kevros

Fashion With A Twist At Kevros Art Bar

Off the main avenue in Delray Beach, Florida and just off the train tracks in a remote location is an Art Bar. Not just like any bar but more of a dated back bar you would find in the 1960’s possibly in Southern California. Artists, artist types plus a bunch of cool and casual people know about this place. It is one of my favorite places to kick back and relax.  “Expect the unexpected at Kevros.”


Every couple of weeks there is a gallery showing. I showed my work their a couple of months ago, some of my more edgy work called “Fashion with a Twist”. This week there was an art show plus a really cool-unique fashion show.  I say expect the unexpected because you never really know what to expect when going to Kevros. Walking in, the place was packed.  As I walked to the outside area there was a very cool old station wagon parked in the back and girls wearing slinky little outfits serving shots and wearing bright red wigs. There was also a Tea Party going on and women with fangs walking around with costumes made of vintage fabrics and lace. Black Candelabras and graffiti set up as the backdrop. The costumes and fashions were all from Pink Slip Threads designs.


I actually didn’t know about the event till the same afternoon when I was showing some friends from out of town the place and heard about the event going on that night. I decided to come back and check it out with my camera of course. Usually for fashion shows I don’t use on camera flash so I decided to leave the flash at home. At first I was a bit disappointed because the light at the event was minimal and I hand held the camera with the shutter speed being very low. This reminded me of the days playing the game Operation. Using a pair of tweezers and having to have a very steady hand so you don’t touch the sides of the machine when operating. If you touched the machine you got a loud noise. Boy did I suck at that game. But thankfully my steady hand has improved with age.


Theatrical photography as I call it is one of my favorites if not my favorite to shoot. I love very edgy and eye catching people. Blend this with eye catching fashion it’s a win – win combination. I look forward to covering your next event.
