Legend Painter Photo

Photographer’s Note

Several thousand miles away from Jamaica, Bob Marley is painted in Swanston Street Melbourne.

Melbourne is defenitly a melting pot of cultures and this unknown painter painting Bob Marley in the most busy street of Melbourne is the perfect picture of this.

I hope you like the photo.

Pedro,
A fotografia está muito bem tomada para mostrar a manifestação artística. Ajustes de cores muito bons, como o POV.

Belo trabalho.

Great street scene. I like the angle you've chosen here. It has a nice slice of life feel. Thanks for sharing.

Está muito boa a composição desta foto. As cores são também muito reais.
Tenho visto trabalhos pintados no chão que são verdadeiras obras de arte.

Excellent capture Pedro. I've seen this work, now I'm kicking myself that I didn't stop to take a shot. This is a great composition showing the drawing on the sidewalk, with the artist at work, complete with out of focus (moving) hand. When I saw it it was on the south bank of the Yarra. I guess the artist moves around. There are feet in the shot, but that works well too in this case. It shows you really are in a restaurant / shopping district. Very nice colour and detail. Very well done.

Thanks, John

Salut Pédro..
J'adore ce genre de réalisation..
Pour la photo, si elle avait été prise de l'autre côté, cela aurait permis au dessin de regarder l'objectif..
Très sympa;.

Hello Pedro,

Wow, what a great talent this man has to be able to paint this. I like how his and is in movement proving that this truly is a work in progress. I hope it does not rain overnight and ruin his work! I really admire street art like this; I have seen some incredible examples of it - very lifelike. Bob Marley is/was an incredible person. It is tragic that he was taken from us at such a young age, like many other revolutionary singers (Buddy Holly, John Lennon and Elvis). Thanks for the photo and tribute.

Hi Pedro,
very well composed and cropped picture of a good perspective and perfect technical quality. It is also good to see the blurred arm of the painter, showing us that was working while you shooted him. Nice one!
Tfs and best regards.
