It is about trading risk for reward in the pursuit of art. It is not about being a photographer, it is about enabling the photography that happens naturally when you let go of the process, give up control, and add a hell of alot more variables. It is about physics, gravity, angular momentum, acceleration, direction, chaos, and timing... most of which you have tenuous control of at best!
Love the interesting work with the face you guys are doing. Here is an interesting tidbit. There are serious studies about the right and left side of a face. Looking at the Mark C. rendition.... According to research, the face on the right is how you try and project yourself to the world..Your facade..if you will. The left face/side is the true you...your hidden self. The research was done with subjects/analysis/using a mirror to divide the face and analyize what emotions/effects it presents. Try it on a photo of yourself and you'll be amazed how true it is. Back to the image. Powerful, emotional. I like the effect of the iridescence in the hair. Great detail for handholding a lens of that size. Really great. I also find the story an interesting addition to the image. To catch an uncontrived/natural expression on a stranger in the street is either a stroke of luck...or a connection. Judging by the explination I do believe a connection was made. Penetrating and wonderful image and the cropping is fine by me. If I had to pick on anything at all (and it is a very small detail)...I would like to see the shadow opened up just a tiny bit as I find the darkness almost like a cloud of grey over his face. Re: the background... As someone who almost exclusively shoots with big zooms... and as a point for newcomers to photography: Even in full sun...If the background is in shade or is a dark color it will appear dark and blurred with the lens he used. That is desireable and the point of using fixed or zoom lenses from 105 to 200mm for portraits. This way your subject stands out with no distracting backgrounds. Congrats on the POW..
So glad I found this - a wonderful laugh to start the day with. I think the front seagull is important because he is one of a group of seagulls who seem to be forming an admiring audience. If you follow the line of gawping seagulls you will see that they form a curve that encircles the pelicans. You could clone out the fourth pelican and the bored unmusical seagull at bottom far left and performer/audience effect would be enhanced.
You have a perfect eye when it comes to capturing the zebras - your artistic use of the striping is magnificent - thanks for sharing your work with us!
I think the blue shirt may be edited due to it's relatively greater luminosity compared to the pants but then again I won't dismiss the possibility that this effect was caused by real lighting...great job Rarindra...you've got us all wondering.
A very fine folder, crisp and clear, not only in the imagery but in the messages portrayed. There is tremendous attention to detail, composition and harmony, all of which independently need a photographers attention. However good a technician one is however, it is not enough, and what characterizes this work for me is the manner in which the artist relates to his subjects. He gives us the impression of not being a spectator but a participant in all his photos. The nude figure studies are particularly striking in their obvious respect and admiration for the female form. It is good to see them here together as a body of work, because each one truly gives the impression of being a part of a whole. I have rarely seen such intimacy portrayed with so little displayed. I wish I had that talent.
