seen at a "kuaför"... Photo

Photographer’s Note

(I know : sharpness on the left is not perfect...)

The bride and her party had just come out of this "kuaför salonu" (hairdresser) : 2 cars full of well-dressed people from a nearby village who had come to town to get the bride and her "demoiselles" dressed and combed etc. ; but these 2 girls and woman could not enter, they had to wait for the next car and remained behind, giving me the occasion to take some shots.

No one in their group was wearing a veil in the rather conservative east, more surprising even that they were village people ... (NB : have a look at the photos of the wedding hairstyle of the daughter of Abdullah Gül, President of Turkey, the 4th photo specially !)

(NB : in the same street, there are various things and services related to weddings : wedding dresses to be hired for the occasion (behind the curtain), special beds, electric utensils for the kitchen etc, - even the system of "wedding lists" is available !)

Attractive and charming capture the moment ,Still easy and expression realistic scene as your wish,For emotion in this scene had enough quality to present ( 2nd priority for a bit soft on the girl). Good work,TFS.

I love the beautiful pastel colours, and especially the shadowy figures behind the curtain. OK, not technically perfect, but a real slice of daily life on what is a very special occasion. The little glance is enchanting.

Best regards, Roberto

Cette captur d'une tranche de vie quotidienne est superbe - la petite fille qui rit et appelle sa maman pour dire que le photographe est là est fantastique -
Très belle image
bon dimanche

Salut Cath,
Très jolie lumière pleine de douceur sur cette petite princesse. J'aurais plutôt essayer un cadrage serré sur la petite fille.
Amitiés
Marc

Thats cute and very well captured like all your other people shots cath. The background and other colours are perfectly naunced and very deftly captured.

Bonjour Catherine,
Tant pis pour le flou, elle est à adorable cette demoiselle!
J'aime bien la façon dont elle pince le bras de la dame à côté, comme pour lui dire 'Maman, regarde, on nous prend en photo!!!'.
Bises. Marianne

rather than the sharpness, I wanted to eliminate the shoulder on the right. but, this is a lovely daily life shot, which, as far as I know, is unique on TE. it gives me an idea, too. it could be fun to photograph women at the hairdresser's. I also found the comments on the page you attached very interesting.
optum, sevgiler.

Hello Cath,
i think hairdressers are great places to write stories, novels and also to take photos. however, it is not so easy to take a great daily life photo like this...so natural.

Sharpness on the left is perfect! Peu importe, Catherine, la photo a une atmosphere et les couleurs tres tendres dans un interieur. J'aime bien et la fillette t'a rendu un beau sourire, emue avant d'etre photographiee. Tes temoignages de la Turquie sont precieux. Bravo et merci. A bientot,

Branko
