Advertisement Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Hi roguewave, Take a look here Exhaustion . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Rolo Posted July 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 8, 2009 Fab casual portrait at which you are so skilled. You obviously have the personality to enter a casual relationship by quickly gaining trust. A fairly rare trait and a vital one for NYC, I anticipate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted July 8, 2009 I think there maybe a compliment in there somewhere. I hate to think of myself as some shallow critter that weasels one's way into a scene. These guys know me well because I am with them on the court for months. I shoot hoops before the games, talk trash & just be myself. I give them prints when possible. I'm sure that you & others that take images for a living use a variety of skills to manage the full spectrum of personalities at the large gatherings you cover. In NYC, there are always lots of other people. Private space is almost non-existent. People live here because they LIKE TO BE AROUND PEOPLE. I do think my ability to walk into a new environment without hesitation & feel comfortible makes others feel the same way. I always try & make my subjects feel important, necessary & worthwhile. I find no matter where I go that people like to be treated that way & want to reciprocate. However.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted July 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 9, 2009 I agree with Rolo. These portraits in a way are self portraits, as they reflect your relationship with the subjects in that fleeting moment. I always look forward to your images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoArchival Posted July 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 9, 2009 I'd also add that I like the nice texture and framing on this one! Nice work with the wide angle, too! Amado Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 9, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 9, 2009 Rolo - It's not just Ben's self effacing comment about getting to know the players over time. Ben has a true gift for immediately getting people comfortable with him. Ben – Superb for subject, moment, light, color, detail and framing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
