Pottery man at work, a photo from Sarawak, East

Photographer's Note

Previously, i posted a picture of a pottery girl. Here is a man who is hard at work, dedicated fully to producing hundreds of pottery..well, almost.. in daily basis.

As both my husband and i watched him effortlessly transforming those lump of clay into a fine pottery before our eyes, we can't help but recall that Christian song " You are the Porter, I am the clay.. mold me and make me, this is what i pray..."

Dear Fanny,
Maybe it is just the background where I was trained or mentored but the thing is, I have a soft spot for documentary photos/photo journalistic photos. The kind of photos which not only has better photographic qualities but tell stories befittingly. ALways remember Fanny, a picture is worth a thousand words but really, it's you the photographer who put those words in. You did well here with this shot.

Bonjour Fanny
I like so much your photographic technique showing motion of turntable and posture of the artist.
Softlight allover for a fine portrait.
Cheers.

Hi Fanny

Great photo of a man at work, and great intense yet natural colours. The background perhaps just a touch too busy, but due to contrasting colours not spoiling the main object. Very natural composition. Bravo!
