A portrait of Guizer Jarl Mark Evans, who is the 2016 Jarl for the Shetland Island UP Hella AA festival.
I shot this portrait while on assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック cover article on Vikings. The name references a fire festivals held annually in the #Shetland Islands of #Scotland, in the middle of winter to mark the holiday season.
The event has a procession of a thousand guizers in #Lerwick and considerably lower numbers in a variety of themed costumes. The #Lerwick celebration grew out of the older yule tradition of tar barrelling which took place at Christmas and New Year as well as #UpHellyAa. Squads of young men would drag barrels of burning tar through town on sledges, making mischief. After the abolition of tar barrelling around 1874–1880, permission was granted for torch processions. The first torch celebration on Up Helly Aa day took place in 1881. The following year the torchlit procession was significantly enhanced and institutionalised through a request by a Lerwick civic body to hold another Up Helly Aa torch procession for the visit of the Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and a tradition was born.
