As Edward Steichen said:
“A portrait is not made in the camera but on the either side of it”
I also have believe in it
that portrait photography is not just all about capturing a face but then again
its all about how to read the faces of the people and how you capture them in a
different way its all about capturing layers of meanings, behaviors, values,
depth of personalities and yes souls. According to me a good portrait is when
the individual is eying the camera because only then you can drive into their soul
and read them with their eyes.
After catching so many portraits I
believe that if you fail to figure out an emotional association of the individual,
you fail to capture a flawless photograph, particularly portraits.
I am
very excited to share very newest portraits captured by me few days earlier.There was an optimistic day and was
also spent very justly because I was in between many lovely kids some of them
were showing pretentiousness after eying at the camera and some of them had
directly rejected.
Here I am sharing some of the portraits captured by me.Look at this charismatic girl in
pink below in photographs, she was arriving to the zoo with her family and stopped when she noticed
that behind a camera somebody’s eye is on her and than she gave me very
inexplicable expressions with one nimble smile. And then girl in red cap giving
me mysterious and angry stares was also another kid their and this little boy
who was crying awfully enforced me to focus him and then successfully I have
preserved all expressions, emotions and personalities in each photograph and
the best thing is that I might not be meeting these kids again but I have them
in these photographs which will never ever going to run away as that time has
been.
And at the conclusion I must quote
“A true photograph need not to be explained nor can it be contained in words.”
So I can’t all write what I have read from all the souls and expressions I have captured because
feelings can be captured by photograph but cannot be explained.
As I was capturing portraits
for the very first time and at this moment I think that
Henri Cartier Bresson was right that
“ your first 10,000 photographs are your worst”
so for me It’s a
long way to learn how to capture and how to feel and how to differentiate
between a photography and a good photography.
