Hi
Beautifull portrait, just a little bit dark to be perfect. However the light is subtil.
Interesting glance and beautifull frame
Well done

Hello Sabyasachi,
You have captured this with wonderful precision I would say. Used the minimum light with maximum effect! Perfect! Colours are very rich and saturated!
Best regards

WOW!! The new star of TE at work again. Top shot this, intelligent light management. Though there are grains on her face, it somehow brings out the best out of this capture. You are making India proud being its best representative by far on TE. I had to add u 2 my favs!

Hi Sabyasachi,
You've displayed excellent control of light here. The black background makes a perfect contrast with the red clothing of the woman.
Now I'm being really picky here, and a little unfair to your subject in this shot, but I just think the shot would have been better if she had kept her mouth closed. I just find her teeth a bit distracting. Sorry to be so pedantic, but its something that jumped out at me straight away.
Otherwise, I think this is really excellent. I don't know where you learnt such masterful control over lighting, its extraordinary.

Hi Sabyasachi,
This portrait of the woman is wonderful. It has so alive and natural colors, and a tenuous light with many shades, that they give a a little mysterious and very beautiful aspect him.
It is an excellent photo, I like much.

Hello Sabyasachi,
Thank you for your kind comments on my photo. Looking at your gallery I am spoilt for choice. The portraits you have captured are exceptional, they have real atmosphere and capture very natural expressions in your subject. I'm not good at photographing people, so really appreciate the quality of your work. I've chosen to comment on this picture as I like the mysterious air with the very black background and the women in her brightly coloured and ornate clothing is perfectly positioned.
Excellent work

Hi Sabtasachi,
A great portrait... even if her face is in the shade!
The lighting mostly from the back putting emphasis on her dress but still my eyes are drawn to the face...
Well composed and with strong colours!

Hi Sabyasachi,

A very nice capture. The darkness, the color of the saree, the smile are all in perfect harmony. I agree, womenfolk in Himachal has no qualms about being photographed. Thanks to the advent of tourism in that part of the world.

Sincere regards,
Hirak

Hello Sabyasachi,

The fact that you use the light like this seems to be the signature of great photographers. I appreciate very much how you lighten the girl's face with only reflected light while we can see the effects of direct light on her saree.

The black background enhances the dramatic effect, and on the top of it the girl is beautiful.

A prize winner for sure - Izzet

My favourite portraits ever on TE: the Indonesian ones of simplyoga (Yoga Raharja) and Indian ones of sabyasachi1212 (Sabiasachi Talukdar). You guys are such an inspiration!

Hi Sabyasachi,

An other beautiful portrait from you. I like the red colour of her dress - looks great on the dark background. The way she holds the scarf is a great detail.

I would love to know your PP workflow - would you share it?
