The nomad boy Photo

Photographer’s Note

A photo done during an excursion in car 4by4 from Leh to Korzok in the east of the country. Our driver had family amongst the nomad of Ladakh, and on the way we had the occasion to stop and discover the comfort of their tents.

Here is a little boy member of the family of our driver. We see in the background the smoke which is released from the heater installed in the center of the tent.

Salut Pascal
Avec la fumée en avant plan l'ambiance est terrible.
Le regard du petit bonhomme est captivant.
Bonne soirée
Christophe

Very cool photo. Almost looks like an old print from late 19th century. You nailed the atmosphere...

Hi Barni,

Beautiful picture, you seem to have caught the atmosphere..the smoke is giving it an effect of something frozen in time and your picture shall be relevant in the times to come.
Beautiful tones, beautiful details..beautiful documentation.
Congratulations
Thanks for Sharing

Hello Pascal
Superbe portrait avec une ambiance bien mise en valeur notamment grace à la fumée.
Bravo

Hello Pascal.
Very well done. The haziness, the colours and the boy's posture all make this photo look like an old painting you would see in a museum.
Regards,
Gert

Une superbe pose avec des tons comme je les aime, un peu pastel, à l'inverse des couleurs saturées. Ces images me font souvent penser à celle de Steve McCurry (photo de la jeune fille Afghane de NG).
Y a-t-il un secret derriére ces couleurs?
Trés bien fait,
Jean-Claude
