Indian cities, buildings or clothes are colorful, everyone who had the chance to go there will tell you… But sometimes, it’s almost too much ! 🙂
Indian Nightly Walk
Street photography at night is often seen as very technical, because of the low light and high contrast, not talking about the multiple color sources that can be a nightmare to balance. But for me who usually find difficult to photograph people in a “visible” manner, I found night more propice to relaxed small-talk that […]
Chennai, 7:55am
Srinivasa beach was maybe only at 400m from the hotel, but 25mn walk because of a sea channel. As long as I could see, colored fishing boats were aligned on the sand, facing the Indian ocean. Some were looking like basic rafts, some were visibly more robust, all were in quite poor condition. Surprisingly, I […]
Chennai, 7:28am
It was during the first of a yearly event my company was setting up, and it was in India. There was still one day to go, and as always, I woke up early enough to walk alone and discover the area. Being just on the seafront, our brand new hotel was surrounded with unfinished grey […]
Arches
Years ago, an experienced photographer who was not yet a friend taught me that while very few images are strong enough to be presented alone, some others could benefit from being grouped in a consistent set, ideally with multiple reading axis. There is nothing exceptional with the following pictures from the Moab area, but it […]
First Light
It is well known that sunrise or sunset are photographers’ favorite moments. Without considering light quality differences, I usually prefer sunrise for a simple reason: less people are awake very early in the morning that late in the afternoon. However, since our trip to Brice Canyon, I’m not so sure….I really had a hard time […]
White Boat
In a previous post, I was looking for alternative ways to capture images of a landmark. Once I recovered from the emotion and vertigo we felt when discovering Horseshoe Bend for the first time, it was time to start thinking how not to take the same picture as everyone else. For sure, I could do […]
El Capitan
On the way from Kayenta to Monument Valley Park, it is difficult to miss the stand alone peak called El Capitan. Imposing block emerging from a flat landscape, there was hopefully some signs of human life to give a sense of scale, otherwise difficult to estimate.
Factory Butte
We were driving on the Utah State Road 24 since Capitol Reef, when we left turned on a dirt road called Coal Mine road to stop the car. Without speaking, we walked a few meters under the summer heat. In front of us, in the middle of a lunar landscape, a gigantic and unexpected vessel…
Yellow Line
What could be the probability of meeting a shiny blue truck fully loaded with green fodder in front of the Capitol Reef red rocks under a dark sky ? … Let’s say it was a good day.
