    portrait

In my recent photographic experiences I am deepening the study of photographic portraits and I think that the final results that I reach are very interesting. First I research faces excavated by time or at least faces that show something special, then a little with lights and a bit with the post-production, finalize the picture, trying to give more depth and more character to the expressions. I have not much experience in measuring lights, not even the possibility of using a professional photo studio, in my little...........I using a small black cloth, a flash af48 on a tripod and a reflector panel............in short for this kind of photography I have to grow so much more. Nevertheless, the works that I am presenting are a fun and rewarding phase of my photographic history, a time where it is also possible that portray people in the street, occasionally, like Robert Capa said: “If your photos are not good enough because you did not go so close enough to the subject. Love the people and let it know” ............ the rest is all by itself, even the people portrayed sometimes pose as a screen test. Technically I don’t know if the type of my portraits can be defined as "dragan style" but certainly are not HDR, even if it may seem.
