The queen of Fakhirani Jat sent on February 26, 2016 (10:09) by Memy. 21 comments, 2073 views.

at 88mm, 1/1600 f/4.5, ISO 400,

Chi ha avuto modo di andarci, sa che npn è mai stato facile fotografare i Jat e, negli ultimi anni sta diventando sempre più difficile... Mentre stavamo cercando un villaggio Jat di cui avevamo avuto notizia in un area al confine con il Pakistan ci siamo imbattuti in alcune donne Fakhirani Jat accalcate in un piccolo negozietto lungo la strada che, stranamente non hanno protestato quando abbiamo provato a fotografarle. A poca, seduta all' ombra c'era questa anziana che doveva essere una persona molto importante della comunità perchè tutti quelli che passavano. compresi gli omini, si inchinavano davanti a lei in segno di deferenza che lei contraccambiava toccandogli la fronte con la mano come fanno anche i sadhu induisti....Purtroppo subito dopo è arrivato un esaltato a bordo del suo suv che ha iniziato a diventare sempre più aggressivo fino a quando non abbiamo potuto fare altro che andarcene velocemente... Sono stati minuti preziosi ma purtroppo mi è rimasta la curiosità di capire chi fosse questa donna. Sicuramente era una persona estremamente importante per la comunità ma non conosco abbastanza ne la cultura Fakhirani ne la religione mussulmana di cui sono strettissimi osservanti, per capire chi fosse... Le mie congetture sono che potesse essere una sorta di " regina " oppure, una delle rare donne sufi dell' Islam... ................................ COMPAGNI DI VIAGGIO Con l' amico Claudio, grandissimo conoscitore di India tribale e con il quale abbiamo condiviso il viaggio in Gujarat abbiamo deciso di organizzare un altro viaggio per fotografare le fiere dei cammelli e visitare aree sconosciute del Rajasthan ( può suonare strano ma ci sono anche in Rajasthan !! ) a Novembre e chi è interessato può contattarmi tramite mp.

Mi piace un sacco! L'unica pecca, secondo me, la luce che irradia e tridimensionalizza solo il foulard e non il volto della donna che purtroppo cosi, nell'ombra, appare abbastanza piatto. Peccato. Capisco la difficoltà del momento nello scattare. O l'impossibilità di chiedere alla signora una posa un pochino differente magari ponendo il volto verso la luce...
Resta un'immagine degna di nota, mi ha colpito moltissimo l'espressione di questa donna e i suoi occhi! Complimenti!
Un saluto,
Marcello

I like it a lot! The only flaw, in my opinion, the light that radiates and tridimensionalizza only the scarf and not the face of the woman who unfortunately so, in the shadows, appears fairly flat. Sin. I understand the difficulty of the moment in the shoot. Or the inability to ask the lady a pose a tad different maybe putting his face into the light ...
Remains an image worthy of note, I hit me very much the expression of this woman and her eyes! Compliments!
A greeting,
Marcello

Ciao Marcello, grazie :-P

era quasi un controsole per cui si poteva fare pochino e forse per errore non ho postato nemmeno la versione migliore.
Dopo queste foto in cui ero da solo, sono stato raggiunto anche dagli altri e la signora è stata così gentile da alzarsi per mettersi a favore di luce come noi le abbiamo chiesto ( sembra una cosa normale ma da una Fakhirani è quasi un evento eccezionale ! ) ma mi piace di più lo sguardo e l' espressione delle primissime 3 o 4 foto in cui era inevitabilmente più naturale... ;-)

Hello Marcello, thanks :-P
It was almost a controsole so you could do little and maybe by mistake I have not posted even better version.
After these photos when I was alone, I was also reached by the other, and the lady was kind enough to get up to get in favor of light as we requested it (seems a normal thing but from a Fakhirani is almost an exceptional event! ) but I like more the look and 'expression of the very first 3 or 4 pictures in which was inevitably more natural ... ;-)

Grazie mille Peppe e grazie ancora Mau :-P

Tante volte mi capita di essere talmente preso da quello che fotografo da dimenticarmi di dedicare la giusta attenzione a come fotografo ma del resto io penso che la capacità di emozionarsi sia una delle cose più belle ;-)

Thank you very much and thank you again Peppe Mau :-P :-P
So many times I happen to be so taken by what the photographer from forgetting to devote proper attention to as a photographer but then I think that the ability to feel emotion is one of the most beautiful things ;-)
