Grooving To Oojami Photo

Photographer’s Note

Oojami are a band you just have to move to - from urban dervishes to belly dancers, from rock folk and rap to techno traditional strains of the east - and that's just what this woman is doing - completely lost in the movement and the moment.

Taken at the Riverside Festival in Nottingham.

Today is my lucky day...
Just few hours ago I've commented upon excellent 'music' face by Andre (mpadre), and now - this gem !

To be lost in her music - if even for a short moment ?
Sure..Why not...
What a moment it would be...?
Extraordinary work, Kev.
Nothing short of your very own, unmatchable by the others - standards.

Have a great, peaceful Easter Holiday, pal..
You and your family...

Hello Kev,
Indeed, she look like being totally lost in the music. Even with the people surrounding her, or maybe for that very reason...
You have again produce a truly good portrait of this woman. And technically speaking, it is good too. I like how just her face is sharp and clear. Like when we are grooving. The rest of the world is becoming a big blur! ;)
Good to see you around once in a while...
Claire

A strong facial expression of hypnotized singing...
I can feel a lot of pressure in veins and in lungs as well. Also, i can smell some hot sweat.
A head very sharp in the sea of hair. I like it a lot.
Cheers,
Deniz

A masterpiece. The power of music, of rythm is shown, the sheer joy of it. It is essential, even before verb. Superb face, great bokeh, light playing all over the image, the gesture of the hand, the silvery b/w. Hats off.

Oh yeah momma!! Move!
I like the serious look of her face, the concentration that you caught here. Concentrating on the moves and on her pleasure there. Nice how you looked through the crowd and caught her in full concentration on her motion. Nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hey Kev!
That's what I like the most in your work. Above all your tecnical qualities, the soul of every picture you take is just there breathing...
I can sense this image, I can create within, I can be there If I ever wished to.
Thanks once again for sharing!
Carpe Diem!
