The Shoe Keeper Photo

Photographer’s Note

In India, in some stores especially garment stores they request you to leave your shoes outside. And of course there would be someone to take care of them. What stroke me in this shot was the fact that he was even wearing a name tag!!

The Sign on the window says 'Wholesale available'

Bala,
One more of your tilst?..I like it.
One thing I note here is the Light management.You seem to have worked on it well..
Is the vinetting on the corners, result of low F number or PP?
Prem.

Hi Bala,

A good use of the tilt to pack in all the details, such as the motorcycle, the shoes, part of the STD sign, and the UN-used shoerack :)

I like your description and stpry about this employee with his name-badge...I would like to see this head on as well, to be able to see the badge - I think this would make an interesting picture...

Hi Bala
you scooped 600 ! :)) let's go for the 1000 !
A strong tilt puls all the attention to this portrait, a tiny bit dark on his face left, a slight local lightening up would make him even more stand out from the background I think. Fine to include the environment and pulling the attention to his badge in the note.
Greetings
Henk
TE-meeting is still growing :))

Salut Bala
Très beau portrait, avec un point de vue très originale,
J'aime beaucoup. Le focus est aussi très bon avec un arrière
plan légérement flou. Tout les travaux sont bon à prendre ! Salutations.
Quentin
