In His Own Image
Abstracts, flowers, landscapes, patterns, colours and shadows is what used to dominate my picture taking. I seemed to exist in an uninhabited part of the earth, or preferred to turn away from the subjects who invented the very medium I communicated with, and was never comfortable shooting homo sapiens. No more ! Just started to point the Canon towards people I like..
This is my friend Sujan's daughter, who has this strange shyness whenever she sees me. I somehow could not succeed in making her more comfortable, so just decided to shoot her expressions when confronted by me.
The Budding Philosopher Award goes to my cousin Nishanth. He is definitely the most gentlemanly boy in the world, and just sometimes decides to relax. This is one of those moments.
Is that a pensive pose patiently captured, or the mood on a lazy summer afternoon ? Or is it subdued frustration on being bored and bothered by a SLR-wielding enthusiast, who is on the lookout for a nice portrait? I can never be sure whats in the mind of this young lady Sangeetha, who happens to be my other cousin in B'lore.
A friend to share a joke.
A brain to discuss an idea.
A mind charged with passion
A groom in the making :)

The first and third portraits are wonderful, particularly the third one is really very lucid and plain !
Kudos.
Nice photos man
Finally you see the light!! Amazing portraits.. If I were to put on a critic's hat, 1, 2 and 4 looks like the people posed for the photos.. but the third portrait, I have a tiny bit of doubt if it was really posed or if your cousin started getting really bored. Nice work! How long did it take you to take each picture?
And tell your friend Sujan that he has got a cute daughter!
super photos Arun...
Thanks Armo, Mani and Gopi.
And 'EsGuru', this is just my first step in portraiture, and all four posed for me, the first one involuntarily :)
For pic3 : 'Shantam' as one of Navarasas is either state of calm or absence of any other emotion or plain old boredom in this case ! Each pic took an average of 2 minutes to capture.
Hey good photographs!
first, second and third.. is not the matter of judgement i could offer.. all four is very good. if i had not mention mani's photo.. he may envy to me. In 3rd photo that i had seen sangeetha's expressions too good example of your excellence. i presume the child we met 4 yrs back at your grand fa house isn't it?
