Excellent studio portraiture with good control of lighting. Probably it would have a even stronger impact if the right side was all dark, like this one. Looking forward to see more such portraits from you. / suvro@suvro.com

Yes, it has those "idealistic" attitudes, Indranil. And it good to deal with such things, whether for liking or for disliking them. It is a good mnind sharpening.
About pure love, no touch, no kisses.. hmm. The ideal must be present or else it is no love. But still I would't like to miss the more physical results of that ideal! ;-)
Cheers!

Exatly, like Sting used sitar in his song "Desert Rose", Jimmy Page performed in many albums with Pabandas Baul. Everything have something to say. I like them or not that is very personal. Great musics and lyrics, arts, concepts, cinemas are always great. Same thing also about a pure love, no touch, no kisses, thats why it is pure. Unspoken feelings are unforgettable.

Aaah, I see. It did look to me as a hand held shot but I wanted to ask you first.
So... use your tripod no matter what the lighting concept is. It the best guarantee that your lighting concept will be captured exactly as you intented.
Cheers!

I don't understand the problem even today, Indranil, and that's why I posted some messages about that in the discussion threads of UF. I have the impression that UF is not really administrated and monitored in a continuous way. I guess there is some server plant somewhere and once in a while somebody gets there to check if everything goes right. I think that with such an amount of daily users they should put somebody there, at the consoles of the ssystem, on a permanent schedule.
Cheers!

Indeed, Indranil, the fundaments of any performance are the same. It is then the specifics of each branch, like singing, or acting, etc, that differentiate between the different directions, but the essentials of performance remain the same good old things.
Even all over the many different paths that performance follows in the many different cultures, we can see that the fundaments are the same. And thus, for example in matters of music, it is only good to listen to heavy metal but also to Jazz and also to oriental music, to Hindustani, to whatever might give us something. All of them have something to say.
It was Stevie Wonder who as a musician of soul music used the sitar for jazz compositions. Nice thing, really.
Cheers!

Interesting effect. I guess that the shadows and contrasts needed to be "harder" for a better match to the expression power of the face. Anyway, the direct illumination did good already.
BTW, did you use a tripod or was it "free hand"?
Cheers!

Before opening this account when I was not able to log in, I mailed them 4,5 times but didnt recived any answer from their side and they didnt bother to give me a formality mail to me. What a shame.I was really frustrated with UF that time. Still I did'nt understand the problem. They should transfer the photographs and comments in my new account....

Thank you very much Nick. I always believe, Singer, Artist, Actor, Painter and other creative aspects have a similarity and a great link in greater aspect. Without extreme emotion and study it cant be possible to do better in creative. I heard many indian classical and very few western. In western tenor singers I heard Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli and like them very much. I have seen few Russian operas. Those were really great. One of the opera is my favorite is "Firebird" . Blues, Jazz and Country I heard many but western classical is a different feelings for me.
Best Regards! Indranil

You are very welcome, Indranil!
So, now I also know at least one of the reasons for that power of directness of expression on your father's face. A singer! Singers always have to "sing with the face expression" too. You know, of course it doesn't change the notes that one sings, but it underlines the text, the lyrics. How much weaker for example does an opera or a rock concert sound, when you don't see the performers.
BTW the right name was Anton Brückner. (Misspelled that in my last message.) Mahler and Brückner are more "contemporary" classic composers. It is classic but... well, you'll hear.
Cheers!
Nick

I don't see that, Indranil. Your images are not the ones of somebody that takes a quick shot just "out of the feeling". Like for example here. A quick shot "out of the feeling" would mean the opposite of arranging things the way they should be (for you). And this kind of arrangement I see on almost the entire series of your portraits. But it is a good kind of arrangement that does portrait the persons.
And this is what it is all about. It is to portrait, to display, to present some person or scene or anything by revealing its *own* character to the spectator. Nobody ever that "does photography by feeling" has produced something remarkable - it is not the photographer and his/her feelings that count but the way the intrinsic elements of the captured subject are allowed to rule the image. Even if many too many in UF (and elsewhere) think that a camera is there for "understanding" their "feelings" and making images this way. (Absurd, isn't it?)
You are on the right way, no matter how you name it. I see much too much consideration, dedication, and carefulness for the detail in your images. So, name that "feeling" if you like, it doesn't matter. Whatever the name is, the content is more important.
Cheers!
Nick

I'm doing OK, Indranil, thanks a lot! And I hope everything's OK with you too?
A pity that the database error brought that problem of having 2 portfolios. Can nothing be done for that? It should be possible for the admins to tranfers your images to one single portfolio - that is, *if* there are any admins here. From what I read about unanswered complaints of the users the word "admin" seems to be less appliable for the site of UF. ;-)
Cheers!
