Lady rainbow Photo

Photographer’s Note

A smiling and kind attitude
is the key to approach
people in the markets...

"It has been a time
until the end of eighteen century -
in which the traveller started a journey
in order to meet populations
(from which buying to which selling,
crowds to convert, to dominate, to eliminate)
and, at the end, he found the places above all
(that they are the fixed subjects
of the memories of travels of the past century).
Today it happens often that we leave
in order to find places,
but the planet is so inhabited
that we met mainly crowds"
Alfredo Antonaros

... but this is good to me
as my best memories
are always related
to the meetings
I made during my journeys.

A nice rainbow adding a different meaning to the skin color

A very lovely portrait.

Hi Luca,
This picture of yours is a gem. Superb quality for a 'stunner'.
Not only has she got a beautiful smile but the brightness of her eyes is remarkable. And that colourful rainbow as a background is just to die for.... The smile is back on my face too!
Umm, I am jealous.
Regards,
Maria

This is a really good portrait Luca - she has a beautiful face and is an interesting looking character, but most importantly of all you established a connection with her, catching a great expression. Not always easy, in these fleeting encounters.
I like the use of the umbrella to fill the background, but I do find that the intensity of it's colours overpower your subject somewhat. That's the only negative aspect in what is otherwise an excellent portrait.

Cheers,
Ben

Ciao Luca.
Eccelli come sempre nel ritratto etnico, cogliendo l'espressività straordinaria dei visi e la purezza di certe espressioni.
Ciao.
Bobo.

Hi Luca
I'm not really into portraits but this one is lovely with such a smiling face against such a colourful background. The off-centre works so well to give balance and all is not too sharp and not too soft.

Nikki

Ciao Luca,
You seem to be a man that have very good fortune, to have been able to meet such a beautiful lady with gentle look.
Her expression is stronger than the rainbow, marvelous portrait indeed!
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Ciao Luca,
già il ritratto, da solo, bastava a giustificare questa foto.
Con quell'ombrellino colorato assume un'atmosfera magica, fuori da tutti gli schemi. Ottima intuizione e bellissima composizione.
Bravo
Ludo

Best wishes,
ReLa

A so gentle smile, sparkling eyes, and a very colorful umbrella! I like the detail of the tattoo on her forehead and the contrast between the femimine veil and the jacket more masculine. It's obvious that your excellent contact with the model gives a lot of strength to the shot.
Regards,
Marine
