hope you like it ..comments & rates are appreciated.thanx alot.

Hi Gold Fish,

I am very curious about how you made the photo. I am a beginner at photography, I shoot very slow 35mm and I am very interested in medium format.

I was a violinist and violist, now I make violins, violas, Cellos, and I draw.

 

The photo fascinates me so! For me the player

is hidden, but yet we see a messed up violin, bow, and a very stark studio. It reminds me of busking in the snow to earn a crust and a beer, a 'faceless' player.

I like the hulk of the guy too, but most of all I love the feeling of what happens next?

It's like the guy is aware of us but dosen't care.

 

Please can you say how you did the photo?

 

Thankyou very much Gold Fish, and all the best.

What a great idea.

Well done Goldfish. lots of expression is inside the frame.

Original and great. Go on fiddler ... play the symphony .. quick!!

This image is vaguely reminiscent of the famed image of Pablo Casals with his cello by the world renouned photographer, Yousef Karsh. (Here.) The reasons being, lone musician, stark and seemingly cold, stoney room, back to camera and Black and White. Casals was seated and playing his cello.

If you will tolerate it, I'll share a short story about Karsh's image. Every afternoon, a young man would enter the gallery where the Casals portrait was on display. He would stand and gaze at it for lengthy periods of time before leaving. This went on for many days or longer. Overwhelmed with curiosity, the curator approached the visitor and asked him why he so studied the picture. Immediatly came, "Shh! Can't you hear the music?"

Your image is different enough so as not to be called a copy/cat and unique in texture and finishing touches.

Regards, Certo

Thank you very much for such illustration..and i really enjoy reading such things ,,back to the master "Yousef Karsh" & his work ..although i've came across alot of his stunning works this is the first time that I see " image of Pablo Casals " ,,when I shot this work the idea just came spontaneously, many thanks Certo .

 

As many of your pictures, this one is very eye catching, plus it tells a story where we have to build the end. Excelent again!
