Series Description:
This series is one of only three of my many series [I currently have 113 Photography Series] where I use some sort of digital painting software to transform my photographs into digital paintings, or I apply some sort of painting texture to my photos. In this series, I incorporate the use of digital painting software only if I believe that the use of this technology, will help me communicate the visual interpretation of the scene, in a way that suits my aesthetic vision in a different light from the original photo. The digital technology available allows artists and photographers more latitude to reimagine their art pieces in alternative visualizations…so why not.

FIRST THREE PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE, or, PEOPLE-RELATED IMAGERY

About this Photograph: Small metal milk pots are hooked to the back of a Hindu devotee. The milk pots have fish hook-like needles that are pierced into the skin, so the pots hang from the devotee’s skin. It is considered a sort of physical burden in pursuit of atonement. This ritual is performed during the Hindu celebration of Thaipusam. © 2013 Nawfal Johnson. All Rights Reserved.

I’m going to spend a few posts showing my PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE, which is the term my favourite People Photographer, Arnold Newman, preferred over the word, Portraiture. I think my People Photography is just that, photographs of people….Doing stuff. I wouldn’t classify my people work as formal. I am publishing some of my people images in my blog in sets of three, and they are random: I have not stuck to any coherent groupings. I have photographs of People in Religious Events & Celebrations, Candids of People on the Street, Dance Photography, Entertainer Photography, VIP Photography, and others. Many people who visit my blogs probably have no idea that I have photographed people, but I have….A lot. My primary photography love will always be Stage & Dance Photography.

This dude was just banging the crap out of this umbrella while the other guy…assisted in the beating. To what ends, I am unaware. They both seemed pleased with their progress, however. © 2012 Nawfal Johnson. All Rights Reserved.
