Photographer’s Note

Rajasthan is known for the beauty and elegance of its colourful turbans. It is an essential part of the traditional outfit and is proudly worn by the Rajasthan men-folk. One can find myriad variations of turbans in Rajasthan and it is said that the size and style of these turban changes in every 15 km you travel down the desert region. In some parts of the region, the size of turban indicates the position of the person in the society they live

Le Rajasthan est connu pour la beauté et l’élégance de ses turbans. C’est un élément essentiel du costume traditionnel, fièrement porté par les Rajasthanis dans la vie de tous les jours. On trouve une très grande diversité de ces turbans et l’on dit que leur taille et leur style peut changer à peine a-t-on franchi 15kms. Dans certains endroits la taille du turban est une indication de la position sociale de son propriétaire

Hi Patrick,

I wonder why f7.1? I think f2.8 would do perfect here because you are not that close and it removes even more from that busy background. You are not that close to him, so that should work, now it's a bit unstable in the background.
But the man looks very intriging, very photogenic and aboslute worth a real portrait with his great red turban. But maybe this was just a quick one, maybe he was not pleased at all, who knows....

Have a nice weekend,

Henk

bonjour Patrick,
un bien beau turban à la couleur pétante. Intéressante la note sur l'aspect social d'une telle coiffe.
Un beau portrait de cet homme à grosse moustache.

Bonjour Patrick, cet homme est majestueux dans ces vêtements et le turbal rouge donne tout le contraste, il semble un peu étonné??
bonne journée

Hi Patrick!
Beautiful clarity on this one! He has quite the style, yet in subtle tones, with the exception of the turban of course, which he is wearing at an angle! I am wondering about the pink scarf, because the Brahmins who were so fond of pestering me in Pushkar wore these? Ah memories. Lovely framing with this one, and you worked well with the difficult light....his penetrating gaze is still coming through! Great work as always! Cheers,
Steve

Bonjour Patrick,
Superbe portrait de cet homme aux habits colorés ... et à la magnifique moustache ! Le cadrage est impeccable, la lumière très belle et la mise au point bien réussi. Tu aurais peut-être pu ouvrir un peu plus pour rendre l'arrière-plan encore plus flou.
Amicalement,
Olivier
PS : je viens de voir que Henk s'est fait la même réflexion sur l'ouverture ;)
