Hello to my dear friends in the black and white community!
I am Menti and I am back with a new photography and blog post. I hope you are all doing well and everything is fine there.
Today I want to tell you about my experience of photographing a wonderful celebration. This celebration was held in honor of a number of veteran local musicians who perform in the kormanj dialect, and I was responsible for the photography and videography.
A large musical group was performing on stage and the interesting point was that the singer of the group was a 91-year-old man who performed without any playback or tricks. This performance was truly amazing and captivated the attention of all the audience
illuminate the stage, I tried to find better frames for photography. In this collection of photos, you can see group photos and individual photos of the band members. One of the band members played the kamancheh and the other played the daf and dohol, both of which are authentic and handmade instruments with amazing sounds.
As you can see, the clothes of the band members are indicative of their place of residence.
I took these photos in black and white to make them immortal.
Points that I considered in taking this collection of photos:
shadows and highlights
Proper composition to create engaging photos
Using the appropriate shutter speed to capture the movements of the musicians
Attention to detail, such as clothing and musical instruments.
It was a wonderful experience for me to be able to see them from a very close distance and to be able to fully touch the sound of their music with my flesh and skin. It was really wonderful. I would like to attend such celebrations again and again.
I hope you enjoy seeing these photos.
