The Cobra King Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi all,

A portrait photo of the man that did all the tricks with those Cobras and Snakes. He is very brave and technically very very good!

Just a simple photo..of a Thai man.. resized and added simple white border.

Fantastic expression, he is so focused and ontense. The color is extremely good.
Well done.

A stunning commanding portrait. I don't know if I would have kept the second face in the photo or cropped it out. It sort of detracts from the mood of the main face.

Very nice expression of the main character of the shot. Nice composition too between the forground and background. Well done.

This is simply super, Thong. Simple? maybe...but you have captured exactly the right look, this mix of sweaty courage and vulnerability. A wonderful portrait! Francis

Hi Thong
Great compo with such intense looking guy.
Yeah, after handling king cobras for such a long hour, a tough man like him may cool off with such intense looking face.
Cheers.

Very good portrait, we would believe that it was cobra in another life!
His expression persuades us that it is ready to jump up to us in the neck and to bite us. Very hardly!
Check depth of field which isolates well the head.

Très bon portrait, on croirait qu'il a été cobra dans une autre vie !
Son expression nous fait croire qu'il est prêt à nous bondir au cou et à nous mordre. très fort !
Bon profondeur de champ qui isole bien sa tête.
