women in Kolkata streets Photo

Photographer’s Note

It has been some time since I posted pictures from India, but as my TE friends can imagine, there are some other pictures in my archive, and I will try to show them from time to time. This is was taken near the famous Howrah bridge, while walking and they barely had the time to pose or change their gestures. I was perhaps lucky that they exchanged something at the moment I released my shutter.

rès belle photo témoignage du vécu des femmes, belles couleurs, j'adore les diverses mains, les couleurs, l'échange par le regard et la distance malgré le toucher des mains, un instant à capter

Fotoğraflarınıza baktıkça "ben de ne zaman sizin kadar güzel kareler yakalayacağım acaba" diye düşünmeden edemiyorum. Gerçekten kadının bakışı, elin duruşu, çocuk hepsi o kadar uyumlu ve doğal ki. Netlik, renkler zaten çok uyumlu. Ellerinize sağlık. Sizden ve fotoğraflarınızdan öğreneceğimiz çok şey var.

Bonjour Izzet
c'est une très belle scène. J'aime bien les teintes assez uniformes et l'expression sur le visage de ces gens. C'est un peu biblique comme scène. Plein de respect et de sérénité.
Beau reportage
amicalement

Bonjour Izzet,
C'est une image saisissante et fascinante, tout à la fois, que tu nous fais découvrir. J'aime bien aussi les expressions saisies, telles la tendresse pour l'une des femmes, tandis que la plus âgée, semble un peu intriguée... La petite fille à l'avant plan ainsi que la main tendue (qui apparait sur la droite) ajoutent de l'animation. Couleurs naturelles bien rendues.
Amicalement

When I first saw this I thought it was a statue, the figures are so perfectly positioned and interesting. The hands reaching across definitely change the look of this, but I think it makes this more interesting because it's so unusual, and it's also captured so well. Well done!

Superb image, lovely earthy tones and not over saturated, a very pretty group photo and one that anybody would be proud to own in their family photo album.

Hi Izzer:

As always .... another magnificent image, this time with colors and uniform and soft tones, I love the expressions of the women. The control of the light in this work is of teacher, congratulations friend.

Hi Izzet,
So typical of the streets of Kolkata, the pavements or the footpath to be in particular. Nice slice of daily life. The woman is wearing contrasting bangles on either hands. Thats probably she sould get her hands on.

Hello Izzet Bey,
Can a photo of poor women in the streets, probably beggars??, be so beautifull?. The composition itself is so vivid, it speaks for itself. The pov is wonderfull, one looking into the camera and the other one ponderous. The sharpness, just is taste, the clarity superb. The colors.... out of this world. It is just... superb. And I am the first one to see it.....
Best personal regards. Salvator.

Selamlar dear Izzet,
you caught so well this lively dynamic road scene and yes, their gesture taken in the right moment contribute to "make" the imagine.

I am struck by the flatness of perspective produced by the higher range of tele in this particular frame, which produces a mural-like effect. Wonderful.

mesutilgim (37324) 2007-03-29 8:58

Selam İzzet Bey,
Tek kelimeyle muhteşem bir kare. Sizin resimlerinize, renk, kompozisyon vs vs gibi "fotografik ukalalıklar" getirecek halim yok ama bu iş tam bir usta işi :zaten de öylesiniz.
elinize sağlık
MESUT ILGIM

Merhaba Izzet,
Depuis une chambre dans le rocher non chauffée : pas le temps de voir beaucoup de vos photos ces semaines-ci, mais celle-ci me réchauffe le coeur, par son humanité et elle me rappelle aussi tous les souvenirs que j'ai de cette mégalopole où la misère cotoie une richesse de culture infinie et où tout le monde me parait si "sweet"...
Merci de nous rappeler ces gens qui vivent dans la rue, mais ne sont pas déshumanisés pour autant !
"TFS",
Cath.
