crepe makers Photo

Photographer’s Note

at the International Book Fair, the boys were making crepes. well, the owner would like to give his booth a french touch...

i´ve used brightness/contrast tool and added grains. it´s amazing how the addition of colorful grains made the image closer to how i saw it. thanks, torben.

Yes it's gritty but colorful work. I think your work with these grains is a succes, but then the photo has a lot of qualities to begin with. The fan-like disposition of the boys with their red berets makes a very engaging movement in the frame, and I think the grains in a way simplifies the photo to let this movement play its role to the max.

Another inventive shot from you. This works very well, almost an abstract. Nice hats.

parece uma obra de Seurat!! adorei esta foto impresionista, isabelle! os chapeus são os bem merecidos protagonistas. Favor si algum dia tem uma exposição com as suas fotografias me fala, gostaria muito ir!

This is a bit like a pointillistic impressionistic painting. The strong and tight composition with red berets in all the different angles and the one person facing us made an excellent base layer to perform your granular PP art on. I agree with Torben that the dynamism is enhanced by it. Very good and creative, congrats Isabel!

Grainy effect works well here. There's a lot of movement in this image, well done.

waou, j'adore le traitement du grain de cette photo loin de la figer, il lui donne du mouvement. De plus il lui donne un tonus incroyable avec ce rouge vif superbe. Bravo

That's funny to see people wearing "basque hats" (south west of France) making cooking from "Bretagne" (north west of France). They are usually from very different spirit of mind.

Still, your grainy picture display an interesting mood. No detail but enhances the strong activity of this people. Nice feeling.

Parabens pela foto muita linda.
