I had shared these images by email quite a while ago, but just forgot to put it online somewhere. So here it is! To whom so ever it may concern, I dont look like this anymore :) It all started as a home tutorial and experiments in portrait photography, and ended up as a trial to shoot some themed portraits for fun.
The images are the result of an attempt to bring out the Navarasas – the facial expressions of Nine different moods, emotions or sentiments. Learning to display these appropriately are important steps in learning the classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathakali, and acting in general.

FYI ???
Good expressions. Expressions - eyes, forehead lines, mouth - are very good in Beebhalsam & Bhayanakam. Some more feeling is required in Rowdhram & Veeram. Others are good. Good try and well taken.
One point to be noted - whomsoever refers to who? And to whom you want to tell that you are not like this... ;-) :-)
kitts,
Rowdram and veeram is better in live video !!
whomsoever refers to those who cannot meet me in person now..no imaginations please ;-)
Super Arun... chance-a illa.. In fact, some of your expressions are better than those in the ones in the links.
I really liked the "Arputham" photo.. really makes one laugh on looking at that.. :)
