Whitby Gothic Festival

Twice a year, the historic seaside town of Whitby transforms into a vibrant stage for the gothic subculture. Dark elegance and dramatic costumes fill the streets, filling them with unique expression.

One year, I wandered among the festival crowds, camera in hand, capturing fleeting moments of this celebration—where shadows meet creativity and every face tells a story.
