Another shot from the performance "No oblidem" (We don't forget) by Veu en Off, against the war.

I specially like this shot, how the light is compressed and lightning only the head of the actress, with that projection on the background, and her shade on it.

For this serie of shots I used Fuji Superia Film, ISO 800 forced into 1600, as well as a very lightning focus. I didn't want to use the flash for letting the play of lights be like they were and the proyections clear enough. As well in the performance there was people moving (specially the dancer) and other static, so I tried to catch everything at the same time.

Hi Sonia,
Very well composed! With the shadow you go over the simple juxtaposition of two pictures. This underlines a dramatic effect and create a link between the present and the past. Well done! Christophe

Hi Sonia,

very nice. I wonder why you kept it in color. I would think that the red is a bit of a mood kilelr for this very sombre shot. In b/w you wouldnt have that. I really love the compo. The shadow falling on the screen of the barbed wire, very menacing and very sad shot. Thats why the red and the skin tones should go.

Hola Sonia.
Una muy sugerente foto.
Creo que el tema (y decir creo es una redundancia) de interés y desgraciadamente actual.
Estas fotos recogen muy bien los diferentes momentos de la actuación.

Carlos.

PD: en los próximos días te digo algo más sobre el reportaje

hola sonia, ya estaba a comentar que se veía fuera de foco... hasta que repare a la derecha de mi monitor... y wow... sorpresa! el rostro de la artista tan pequeñito, como saliendo de la oscuridad, pero que en esta compo lo es todo. esta es la foto que mas me gusta de esta series que has hecho hasta ahora. el dof esta fantástico. Lo que mas me gusta es como el blanco y negro se ve alterado por el encarnado de la pañoleta. una foto muy sugerente y de grande efecto optico! Tfs. gabriel

bravo

Hola Sonia,
De nuevo nos deleitas con tu saga "NO OBLIDEM" realmente tienes toda la razón en la nota, la luz captando unicamente a la actriz es genial. Y en esta ocasión aportas también la cruceza de la historia de los campos de exteminio.
En geneal muy buen trabajo
Saludos
Sergio

Hello Sonia,

I agree with Rafal here, This would look great in B/W, However I like the original composition, the Light and shadow, the two part of the frame is a great capture.

Hi Sonia - very sombre and moody, the grain works well. I'm happy with the colour. We don't forget but we still let it happen, Schindler's List didn't help Rwanda, and this performance won't help Darfur.

I like this one a lot. The grapism here is evident. taking photos of theatrical productions is challenging and fun. You do good work here.

Hello, Sonia!
Very frightening image on the screen..., well composed with the actress on the foreground. Good idea and execution!
regards,
Greg
