Ethnic Photography

A shot of great visual impact. The background blends perfectly with the portrait and at the same time gives three-dimensionality to the photo. Sometimes it is not easy to photograph people with dark skin because of the brightness of their skin, which can create spots, but you have succeeded very well in the intent. From what I can see it doesn't seem to me that you have intervened in particular with the photographic retouching and this is another point in your favor. Excellent composition, cut and color balance that perfectly captures one of the few Ethiopian ethnic groups not yet contaminated, for now, by our society. Thank you for participating in my contest and congratulations on the first place.

Thank you for participating in my contest and congratulations on placing in the top 10. Nice portrait with a black white used perfectly. The light, used optimally, and the black background make the image almost three-dimensional. Older people are often the ones who best represent the concept of ethnicity because they keep old traditions alive. Shot that respects all the rules of a good photographic composition. Good job, bravo !

Thanks for participating in my contest. this is one of the shots that best makes the idea of ​​ethnic photography. The setting, the elements that compose it, the installation, the light are, from my point of view, excellent. I'm sorry I didn't put your photo in the top 10 but unfortunately I don't prefer vertical photos set and this is the only thing that penalized you. A horizontal shot further away would have made the idea of ​​the conditions in which these shepherds find themselves more. it is simply my idea that you can not even share, in any case it is a beautiful photo. Congratulations again.

Thank you for participating in my contest and congratulations on placing in the top 10. Beautiful portrait of a young Afar, a beautiful Ethiopian ethnicity. Although there are small imperfections in the background light, you have been able to grasp the depth of her gaze. This is what matters in this kind of photography and that makes a shot great. Really well done.

Thank you for participating in my contest and congratulations on placing in the top 10. Photo perfectly balanced chromatically, very pleasant to see. The smoke, recalling the moonlight, makes it all more mystical and, creating a circle around the man, attracts even more attention to the face. Excellent composition, theme perfectly respected. Well done.
