Hena for a Bride Photo

Photographer’s Note

In Morroco the bride has the hands and the feed decored with hena draws. This are very fines draws, most of the time with floral prints very delicateds.

Bonjour Javier,

Superb picture details of this art that Moroccan women are passed on from generation to generation.

Marc

Hi Javier

The colors are very beautiful, the details of the patterns in hena are good and the composition is really effective. This is maybe fortuitous but the patterns on the hand reply to those of the dress. I appreciate the colorful DOF, too.
Regards
Marine

Slav Javîer,
Ciyê Henê(hena) di çanda Kurdî de jî gelek mezin û grîng e.Nexasim jî tênebuhurê zewacan e.Ewqas ne binexş be jî di rojên zewacan de destê bûk û zavan bikêf û reqs tÊ henekirin.Lê nexşa hena destê zava û bûkê cuda ye.Destê zava tisî tê henekirin lê yê bi bûkê bi nexş e û zêr tê xistin hena bin hena mista wê.
Weneyek gelek xweşik,watedar û serkevtî ye.
TFS.

Hi Javier,
Nice colour of these bridal hena drawings. Unfortunate about the too shalow DOF...the left hand does not have enough sharpness to make this image really work. Also, one fingertip is cut of. I know I'm perhaps a though audience :) but if you were a little bit further away it would make a lot of difference

All the best
Steve

What an interesting picture! I knew that Indian brides use to have their hands picted this way, now I see that in Morocco it is the same.
I like here also DOF use.
Well done!!

Hi Javier
Great shot. The left hand is a little soft and the finger is just cut off slightly but I'm sure this was a grab shot so well done.

Hola Javier
Muy bonita la manera en que has capturado los detalles decorativos en las manos de esta doncella. Como es que pudistes acercar a ella? Me imagino que son algo timidas para ser fotografiadas por extranjeros.
Un saludo
Daniel
