Meghwal Kids Photo

Photographer’s Note

Les gens de la communauté tribale Meghwal sont originaires de Marwar au Rajasthan. A l’heure actuelle ils résident plutôt dans l’ouest du Gujarat à proximité de la frontière pakistanaise. Ils vivent pour la plupart dans de petits hameaux de huttes rondes fabriquées avec des briques de boue. Elles sont peints à l’extérieur avec des dessins géométriques colorés et décorés d’incrustations de petits miroirs. Les femmes Meghwal sont réputées pour leur travail de broderie et de tissage de la laine et du coton. Les hommes sculptent le bois et travaillent le cuir

The people of the Meghwal tribe are originally from Marwar in Rajasthan. At the present time they are also found living in western Gujarat near the Pakistan border.
They live mostly in small hamlets of round, mud-brick huts painted on the outside with colourful geometric designs and decorated with detailed mirror inlays. The women are famous for their embroidery work and are master wool and cotton weavers. The men are woodcarvers and leather workers

Hello Patrik,

colors and light are excellent as usual for this portait.
I like the two other girls out of focus in the background, which tell about the lively scene.
Regards Stefano

Hi Patrick!
This one is very sweet and endearing. The oblique angle really works. What wonderful expressions, and beautiful skin textures and colors. The DOF is perfect I think. The notes are also very interesting. Hopefully you have some more from this tribe. Great work! Regards,
Steve

P: clearly reveling in some of the limelight usually co-opted by their more colorful female simblings... Another fine one. c

Hello Patrik,
The eyes of these two children are really exciting. This is a great double portraits with vivid colours and excellent clarity.
I also like the two blurry girls in BG.
Friendly Regards
Giorgio

Hello my dear Patrick

Nice panorama portrait photo. Maybe you used a wide focus lens area. Effect of f/7.0 is fruitful.
Congratulation on your nice job !

Thanks for sharing and best regards,

Takero

Salut Patrick,
Evidemment, ce n'est pas de l'instantané mais ces deux enfants semblent bien s'amuser devant ton objectif. Ils ne sont pas les seuls du reste car la demoiselle derrière rigole bien aussi.
Ce qui fait le charme de ces portraits, ce sont les yeux et le regard si coquin de l'une et si charmeur de l'autre!
Bravo!
Bon WE
Diane

Une photo très chaleureuse, mettant en valeur non seulement les visages souriants, mais aussi le cadre de vie.

Amitiés, Grazyna.
