NON Square Cropped Portraits - (nSCP's) - Archive

[Antonio Correia]

What can I say about this picture ? ...
Not much. Just one of my nSCPs and here is the EXIF.

[Antonio Correia]

This is an interesting picture with lots of black space leading the eye to the void created by the position of the two hands.
Some kind of misting appeal ...
Yoga or something like that ...

The white dot and the line at the bottom right is it intentional ?
EXIF ?

I thought again concerning portrait and think it prob should have a face in there too or it isn't a portrait. I posted some explanation in previous thread which basically is person= portrait but admit that prob isn't right. Do I win a prize for messing up your thread? I hope so, yet am sincerely apologetic at the same time

Personally, I am sorry you erased the image ...
This one, I shot today while workers we doing the re-pavement of a street.
Harsh light, harsh work.

The same man on a peculiar ambiance/moment.

Thamk you for commenting
There was a lot of smoke / pollution in the air and they did not use any mask at all. A shame.
I myself - I have been there about 3/4 hour - was still feeling the smell at home one hour later

This image makes part of my long time running project "Work"
No doubt a portrait of a man, working on the street.
I used a 580 EX II triggered with a ST-E2. EXIF embedded as usual

Do you by any change know who this gentleman is ?
I would like to send him this picture. He is from the Republic of Ireland.

Not all the photos are a success, of course.
Trial and error is very common in digital photography.

Today I went to a restaurant and made this shot of the people working there. They serve mainly grilled fish.
I could invite you for a meal but you are too far away...
This photo pleases me in the limit. I mean, just pleases me as a trivial, common, shall I say vulgar photography. I am not happy with it but I wanted you to have a look.
There is no spice in the photo. It's just a shot, plain and simple. Any amateur can do this.
May be I am also one of them ... May be ? But of course I am one of them ...

I just wanted to show you how interesting it is to look at two images flipped.

The first one is the original while the other one looks more balanced.

Sometimes, the mirroring of a photography is interesting, don't you think so ?
Which do you like best ?

You are right Antonio!
I wonder if you get any replies from a country where they read from right to left?

In fact, I don't receive any reply unless from those reading like us ...
And what about the others, reading in the vertical ?

Good question by the way !

Hi Antonio,

I prefer the second. Wonder if it makes a difference if your left or right handed? (Or indeed ambidextrous)
