One thing that all Caribbean Carnivals have in common, though, is color. Each and every festival bursts with vivid displays of brightly exotic chromatic chaos, all of it a feast for the eyes, and of course, the camera lens.
Here, we showcase some of the awesomely colorful spectacle of Martinique Carnival as captured by Martinican pro photographer, Henri Salomon…
