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

Great inputs here Antonio.

As for me I actually love shooting under the high sun and placing a fill in flash for the subject. :)

It is nice this crop Colin. :)
The guitar adds to the composition.

I usualy don't buy photography magazines except the ones in know, Silvershotz and Aperture.

I'll have a look one of these days just to see the new way.
Jessica doesn't seem blue... :)

Yes Richard, you are on that trend. Go on improve it. :)
Get better pictures. Better, more sophisticated, more elaborated ones. :)
More controlled ones !
I think it is a happy way giving Life and joy to the pictures. And if you shoot marriages, the better.
I am sure your clients will also like them. Well, I hope so :)

Look Sahil what I have done with your image. :)
I should have cloned that tissue appearing in her arm...

A tighter crop & brought down the exposure, right? Looks great.

But I wouldn't clone out that thread/tissue around his arm. It has a religious significance :)
And yea its a HE ;)
Everyone is taking him for a girl.

Sorry Sahil :o if she is a he.:) I hope he does not read theses posts :)

But Sahil if - as you state - the tissue has a religious significance shouldn't it be more apparent / evident ? And what is written on his t-shirt ? Is it important ? Does it also has a meaning ?
Shouldn't we see it integrating the portrait in a wider context, in it's own culture ? :rolleyes:

Thank you for commenting again :)

I am wondering why didn't that little text on his t-shirt prick my eye earlier. It surely is bugging.

Thanks Antonio for the inputs :)

As you know Sahil, it is easier to say than do it ! :)

There is a popular Portuguese proverb that goes like this:
"Do what I say, don't do what I do" - in a poor translation :) but you got the meaning :)

I make similar "mistakes" but... we are all Humans aren't we ?
Cheers :)

One from last year. Selling teeth on the street.

Great photojournalistic style here antonio. Where is this place? Does he clean teeth too? :) It will save me a lot of time rather than setting and waiting for the dentist's appoinment. :D

As they say, it happens only in India :D
These guys do everything with your tooth. Root-canal right in the middle of some park! :D They have all kinds of dentures rightly available.
Right Antonio?

Indeed Sahil India is a "Toysrus" in terms of taking pictures of people. :):) My wife said.:D
For the time being, it is very easy to take pictures of people and they are all very expressive.

I did not make my teeth in India, in fact but I think many people does. :o
I don't know if with time, people will not have enough of being photographed.
I have been to countries where people run away from cameras or get mad at us while in others... on the contrary.
I can perfectly understand their "run away" position in countries like Vietnam when I look at their History.:rolleyes:

We were twice asked to be photographed with people, in India. Amazing. But they are right. If we shoot them why can't they shoot us, with or without them ?

Thank you Sahil for commenting :)

And yes, that is the way to do it !

But this here is under the Sun and no flash. However, I do like it. :)

Lol! No... In fact I don't like him much. At times he gets on my nerves.

Hey Antonio, I, with my clan are going to Jaipur for a photography trip. I guess you have covered that area too. Any tips?
