solace
Posted by Kheoh Yee Wei (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 16 June 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Well,this isn't a blatant studio-like arrangement,this was the actual scene.
He is another gardener,he has finished his work of the day,waiting to go home,but just a few minutes before he can go off,he rest sitting on the comforting chair,his idleness,his wondering and his tiredness,it was very much a solace to me from that very moment of him.

I like this shot, there is something special about it. The colours and contrasts are great, and the look on his face makes me sad.

Cool, looks like a studio shot. Good for advertising purposes since it has space for text.

An interesting experiment - so what processing did you do?

@Teng Tan: i used 'level' to increase the contrast and the light,then use'hue/saturation' to desaturate the colors,that's all about the PP,nothing much :D

most interesting photo. One of a kind composition and process. It almost feels like a painting.

nice contrasting between the blacks and whites.. looks very much like a studio shot but you must be very lucky to find these unique places for your shots

Beautful portrait. The look on his face is contemplation defined.

le cadrage décalé qui coince le personnage c'est une super idée renforcée par le traitement et l'attitude voutée du personnage complètement décalé sur cette chaise de patron. Vraiment intelligent et subtil!

This is a beautiful shot. I like the way you have placed him towards the end of the frame. To me, it goes well with the description. He has finished his work for the day and is eager to go out of the frame to his home.

This one is excellent. In the rendering, first, and in the scene, seconth, because there is such as a "diffraction" between the man and his wears and the chair.
