wilfredo Posted August 18, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 18, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) It seems this shot has a Diane Arbus feel to it, although I confess it is not my usual subject matter or style. Shot with a Leica M7, under the streets of NYC in the world of the Subways. © WIlfredo Benitez Benitez-Rivera Photography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

semrich Posted August 18, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 18, 2006 Wilfredo, A very nice portrait of someone doing whatever is necessary to earn a living. It is nice to see that he is succeeding at it from the look of his money baskets. The black of the blacks and the white of the whites in this are what I strive for and are escaping me at the moment, yours are excellent. I really like how the light in this is reflecting off of the white tiles. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted August 18, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 18, 2006 Wilfredo - Wonderfully caught and composed with lush, full tones, and a most touching, sad subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 18, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you all for looking and giving such encouraging feedback. Vic, you were keen to notice the cropping. As you pointed out Arbus worked mostly with a twin lens reflex Rollieflex. I was wondering if anyone would pick-up on that :-) Stuart, don't be timid about playing with the contrast tool in PS, that's a major factor in getting good whites and blacks, that's mostly how I do it. I really enjoy shoting in New York, it has a wealth of subjects. Southern California is a bit boring in comparison.

dan_drabek Posted August 19, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2006 Great shot Wilfredo. You've given this gentleman his 15 minutes of fame. I bet he would be thrilled to see his picture on the internet. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
