The mask of suffering sent on May 29, 2013 (14:24) by Memy. 61 comments, 6429 views.

at 155mm, 1/4000 f/2.8, ISO 640,

Mi scuso se qualcuno verrà urtato da quest' immagine un po' forte... Ho pensato a lungo se postarla, ho aperto anche un tread al riguardo ed alla fine mi sono deciso a farlo perché anche questa è l' India: bellissima e terribile allo stesso tempo. A scanso di equivoci ho tentennato molto anche quando è stato il momento di fotografarlo ma, dopo un po' di ripensamenti ed esserci passato davanti più volte, ho fatto chiedere ad un indiano che parlava l' inglese ed ho ottenuto il consenso dal soggetto. Mi fa pensare ad una maschera di sofferenza, un emblema di quella schiera dolente di storpi. mendicanti e derelitti che orbita attorno ai monasteri più frequentati in attesa di ricevere un obolo dai pellegrini.... Kamakhya temple - Guwahati Assam - India Dicembre 2012

To photograph is to create opportunities for others to see what you saw at the time of shooting, otherwise would have no sense photography.
Juza, like many other sites exist for this, it is documented and then you share (for better or for worse).
In this you are a true artist, with the desire to share your passiona, share your emotions and especially the desire to open people's eyes.
Fantastic picture, this is photography.
We are really lucky, thanks for reminding us through this shot.
Are you the n. 1.
Joe ;-)

Beautiful picture, and I also like how it was drawn.

That said, when I was in India, I was impressed by how few people have seen crippled. I started with the idea of ??finding a military hospital in the open, instead yes, I've seen a bit ', but pretty much only in tourist places. I took a tour of Rajasthan than two weeks, and I also had several occasions to turn "freely", outside of the organized tour. A full day free in New Delhi, as well as other times shorter than in other cities.

Of course, poverty galore: swarms of children everywhere materialized out of nowhere, when the bus stopped in desolate places between one city and another, begging for candy and pencils. Cows fed on plastic bags everywhere. Slums in periholidays, and huge contrasts between the welfare "Western" of many tangible and poverty of many others. But in general so much dignity (well beyond what I have found for example in sub-Saharan) and a few "tampinatori" of tourists professionals placed in strategic places.

I do not doubt that India is too blind, and the photo I really like. But be careful to identify India with this type of representation, because it gives a false image of the country. The stereotypical image that I had before going there. As long as what I saw in Rajasthan is not generalizable to India, because this is also possible. Besides, I understand that in the past decades some unfortunates were purposely disfigured / deformed to arouse the pity of tourists, and I hope that this practice is finalinitivamente ceased.

Thank you for the beautiful words Joe! :-|

Thanks Max, as you say, too, is rightly a matter of taste ;-)

David, thanks for the 'in-depth reflection and stimulating a comparison always very welcome.

I would say if someone on this site has sponsored the beauties of 'India, that's me! And my galleries and what I've written or said in the post who asked me advice or information is that 'India is a wonderful country! Just because people are wonderful and special!

And I obviously show a similar picture does not question the dignity of these people, God forbid! but ... the show even more in the way they tackle the situationsAnd
I only say, and I repeat, that 'India is a fascinating country for its contradiction: and the word "ALSO" I do understand the meaning ...

You did well to post because there was interaction with the man and why this is the section where to see what strikes us when we travel. The shot is of a high level according to the standards to which we have become accustomed by now! Taking part clearly part of a travel report this photo exceptional is definitely first of all in portrait, a painful portrait, also because of the choice to use a dark background that does not add elements that can describe the scene but focuses all the attention the man's face and, as the tittolo on the hardness of his life.

a face of 'India that we could seldom see


In fact it is easy to see (live or virtually) enough to want it, just girare the corner.

Memy, I saw a bit 'of your photos, beautiful, and I realized that India do you know her any more than I have known.

Mine is not meant to be a criticism of your photos, and I wrote that I like this photo. He just wanted to be a warning to those who look at this picture: India is also this, but marginally. The overall impression of the country that has it got me I is another (unfortunately now are 10 years old do not go). And since first going there in person the idea that I had (stereotypical) corresponded to that transmitted by this picture, that of a country of derelicts who suffer, those who do not believe there was: India in general is not that. E ', as you say, EVEN this.

Image as you said very strong but at the same time beautiful in its tragedy ...
My heart aches to see how unfortunately, even today, there are people reduced to this state of destitution ... and you think maybe you saw him hurtling alongside a pimp with the SUV from 100,000 Euros ....
This is the life, alas ... and no one can change, unfortunately ....

A very powerful and haunting image, Memy. IMO the darkness fits the mood of the picture well.

Congratulations! I do not know what else to add that has not already been said! I think it is a beautiful picture in all!
Transmits strong emotions and PP (perfect in my opinion) makes it even more pronounced!

Photos like this make you really reflect on the good fortune that many of us have!

Again congratulations!

I join the congratulations. Not only for the picture (high impact and highly impressive), but also for your sesibilità shown in the scruples that you've done and post it in the fied of the consent of the individual concerned. According to me you have shown not only to be a great photographer, but also a good person. C 'is they were ......
PS l 'elaboration so dark (always in my humble opinion) emphasize the' isolation of the subject and accuisce the sense of suffering. CONGRATULATIONS
