Musician's Portrait

It is another portrait of Amit, ( reuploaded after some corrections) at the concert of Barrocade orchestra group, at  the Tel Aviv museum of art. The Viola  De Gamba he is palying on,  has  been reconstracted  by him pursuant a drawing of the instrument from the Baroque era.!

A real pleasure listening to the  concert of that group. Thanks for viewing.

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Pnina!

A strong portrait of musician. On face and fingers an excellent light with very interesting concentration to the main subject.

Great lighting, serious character working the noblest job in the world...great mood!

Best regards Pnina!

Pnina, the light is perfect and I just love the expression on his face, so serious.  Fantastic  portrait, nice position &  angle, wonderful rich warm colors and tones. Nice work.

A fine study in concentration and competence. Cheers

intense and effective... an excellent portrait of a serenely confident man engaged fully with his instrument 

Perfection!

Fantastic session! Good control of light!

Thanks for your comment!

Pnina,

A wonderful portrait of a self assured artist at work.

This is a lovely portrait of Amit indeed, Pnina. I too like the dedicated expression of the musician, as well as the warm & the subdued colors against the plain BG. Kind regards to you, Marjolein  (P.S: I wonder what a slight crop on the L side, and top of the photo would look like..?) 

It is very much appreciated as Amit is a very dedicated musician, aside from  being a Baroque instrument builder.

Gord, nice to see you back!

Marjolein, I wanted to give Amit a lot of "air" around, but I always try suggestions, and yours I think is worth trying ! and I think it is another good possibility,So here it is..;-))Thanks

Pnina, I personally would have cropped even a tiny bit more:-) I understand that you want to keep space surrounding Amit, and it's true, it makes him stand out better. However, by the slightly off-center positioning of Amit & his viola di gamba, I like the composition of the photo better... Again, very nice work, Pnina! Have a good WE, Marjolein 

Well done Pnina. Both versions work well, though I prefer the 1st one.

Take care,

Mário

Thanks for following up.I think you are right about L off center, still somehow I felt it needs a lot of " air", maybe  because it is his music that I felt needed more central positioning....anyway thanks for your comment which is a good one !

I missed your comment while writing to Marjolein, glad to see you again , and thanks for writing your impression. I hope all is well !.

I love his expression; so intent and concentrated. Just looking at this photo brings me many happy memories of watching and hearing my own kids perform with their orchestras. Lovely light. I hope he hangs this one on his wall. Thank you for sharing. :)

I like your "Musicians". This is at least as memorable as the earlier "The Violinist".

Dedicated musicians photographed by knowing hands...

Here, he does look like an authority. The uncluttered background makes him stand out nicely.

As another friend mentioned above, this is a photo he can proudly display in his living space.

The wrinkles in his face communicate a history of intense concentration.  His eyes are softer.  I like the light on his hand.
