Hollie Fernando captures Boss Morris, all-female morris dance troupe

Photographer Hollie Fernando shot a portrait of Boss Morris, an all-female morris dancing side, for The Guardian. The image features the group in midsummer with their goat mascot Caprihorn. Fernando aimed to celebrate women reinventing the traditionally male-dominated dance form. Morris was historically male-only until the Morris Federation allowed women in 1975; the Morris Ring excluded mixed sides until 2018. Today, women comprise over half of Britain's morris dancers. Boss Morris gained visibility performing at the Brit Awards with the band Wet Leg, with whom Fernando was working. Fernando described the group's world as magical, noting they shared pickled egg in crisps at a pub. The portrait highlights the evolution of morris dancing through young women honoring and innovating the tradition.
