Sisters II, a photo from Mandalay, North

Photographer's Note

Another endearing portrait of the two sisters from Shan state that we met in Bagan. Their clothes are typical of the Pa0Oo people, black with blue edging/stitching and brightly coloured headscarves.
They are posing for their father, (with his mobile phone) not me, but you can see by the elders' body language, (the curling toes and her hands) that having their photos taken is still a bit strange.

Hi Elaine
A sweet smile from the big sis but a rather sad countenance on the other and we can see the genuine affection between them. Well captured pose probably they are still not used to seeing 'foreigners' and often shy away from the camera. They look so colourfully dressed - another strong point, so hopefully they are loved and cared for and have a happy future ahead. An endearing top notch image, Congrats
Best regards

Hi Elaine

THey seem reluctant to be taken in picture in this artificial pose, the elder would like to go playing, her gesture show some impatience.
Cheers

Hello Elaine,

This is indeed a most charming photograph of this lovely pair of sisters. As you point out so well, it is clear that the elder girl finds having her photograph taken to be a rather nervous moment, especially when she is faced by two photographers, namely her father and you! On the other hand, the younger girl is clearly less concerned and almost appears to be "away in a dream".

Apart from the subjects being charming, the use of purely subdued and soft natural light has given this image a wonderfully serene quality. The colours are natural and true as well, your exposure is perfect and the details and clarity are exquisite.

Beautiful!

Have a safe and peaceful Easter.

Kindest Regards,

John.
