Kathakali dancer Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kathakali is the classical dance-drama of Kerala. Kathakali has a unique combination of literature, music, painting, acting and dance. The actors play the role of the Gods. The excellence of play is based on mastering facial expressions and gestures.

Hello Janos,
I imagine it is not easy at all to wear such an impressive 'hat'.
Its colours are great, as well as the colours of the make-up of the dancer.
Very well done!
Regards,
Marianne

Ez már a tiszta egzotikum, amit én ebben az életemben már aligha fogok tudni földolgozni. Bizonyára a mimika is kifejező, de ahogy eddig, úgy most sem tudom a keleti szimbolikát értelmezni. A kép technikailag szerintem egészen kiváló a világos, éles és tiszta részleteivel a szinte teljesen homogén fekete háttér előtt.
