The director Photo

Photographer’s Note

To the left a well know Norwegian actor instructing some theater amatours before their play in an old, medival, part in the town Fredrikstad, south of Oslo. The play will be an outdoor 'walk around the town' performance. Typical summer activity on a place like this.

Nice Jack, how you again captured a dynamic group of people. They really seem to get into their roles. It also seems that you caught the attention of the director ;-). The compo and colours are good and the focus is a bit soft - but in a way this adds to atmosphere of this scene. Fine capture.

Une photographie bien dans l'esprit de TE Jack. Un moment intéressant de la vie quotidienne !
Réussite technique : nombreux pièges (lumières hautes et basses) difficiles à gérer.
Bien réalisé Jack.
A photography indeed in mind of TE Jack. An interesting moment of the daily life!
Technical success: numerous traps ( high and low lights) difficult to manage.
Realized well Jack.

Interesting shot, Jack. Nicely framed with the gap between the director and the 'amatours'. I like how they are all focused on him, but he is focused on you. Good colours and an interesting background.

Again one good photograph Jack, very nice depth but, in a way this adds to atmosphere of this scene. Well done!

Nice PJ type shot Jack. He is the only one looking at you, all the rest are basically looking towards his direction. Does that make you a director too, since he is directed at you?

Very nice catch, Jack, in which I not only like the candidness of the moment as such, but also the anticipating look that the "rookie actors" on the right are giving the instructor. Pleasant background setting with the old buildings and greenery in between. Well captured.

Reminds me that 25 years ago, in the 6th grade at school when I still lived in Austria, I used to be a member of the acting group. One of my "proudest" accomplishments was a supporting role in a play based on the travels of Odysseus/Ulysses, where by some witchcraft I and some of my poor colleagues were transformed into pigs (which was depicted by each of us wearing a pig mask). I guess everybody but the "pigs" must have been enjoying themselves :o)

Interesting shot where the girl seems concentrate on his text and the group on the right listening carefully. there is just the teachter that was looking at you...
Nice shot, Jack!

A very good shot from real life, Jack. I like the different poses of all the people there - most of them didn't notice you at all. Good shot.
