Street tailor, a photo from Maharashtra, West

Photographer's Note

In the streets of Mumbai you can also find tailors with sewing machines that would be seen only in antique shops in the west..
I liked the contrast between the peaceful athmosphere in his shop, and, right next to it, the busy streets.
It will go in my Mumbai street vendors and shops theme...

Hi Laurent, amazing view of the street tailor, well composed and with good quality, just a little bit too dark on the extreme right side.
thanks, ciao

Hi Laurent,
Mumbai is always on the move or it so it seems to an outsider. Good to see someone sitting down atleast:) Good street scene, nice balanced composition.
Best Wishes
Sabyasachi

Encore une vue intιressante de la vie quotidienne en Inde, mais je trouve le premier plan un peu sombre.

Hi launrent.
Those old sewing machine have so much character. It is a nice daily life scene. I like the division of the composition between the shaded, quiet, concentrated side and the hustle of the street on the other Regards Kevin

Hi, Laurent.
Very intriguing daily-life shot. You managed to get the concentration of the tailor perfectly, contrasting with the street rush. Very good!

Hola Laurent.
Nice to see the street tailor working with his old sewing machines, good to see a young man doing his work in minimal working condition and to see the people crossing by in a daily life scene. Very well composed. It's is a very good shot. TFS.

Unbelievable how can the guy concentrate on what he is doing. The compo is really good with a quite scene on one side and a busy life on the other. You have a quite good light management in this shot and I really like the matching colours of the fabric and the line. Well done.
Antonio

Bonjour laurent, tu as su rendre les dιtails bien clairs ΰ la lecture de cette photo, jaime bien comment le couturier travaille au milieu des gens qui circule comme sil se trouvait dans un atelier fermer, jai limpression que cest dans cette rιgion du monde ou tout au moins en Asie que tout cela ΰ ιtι inventer et maintenant je me rends compte que toute les filatures europιennes et mondiales disparaissent les unes aprθs les autre et que ces mκme pays dAsie qui on tout inventer finalement rιcupθre toutes les part de marcher mondiale, ce nest que justice, lennui cest que les ouvrier la bas sont plus exploiter que salarier, bien amicalement

Hi Laurent!
Good shot of the street tailor and a good composition with the busy street.
I`ve seen many scenes like this in Mynmar`s cities too.

Wanda1 (15142) 2007-01-14 5:35

Hi Laurent,
There is a good contrast between the business and the quiet. Nice subject matter and composition.
Regards
Wanda

feather (51130) 2007-01-14 9:21

I think you have managed the light/dark sides of the image well to create a perfect contrast between tthe two "worlds". (light/dark: busy/ peaceful: outside/inside. Another great addition to your theme. (Btw you didn't add it to the theme yet).

ChrisJ (171146) 2007-01-14 9:23

Salut laurent

Good daily blife shot from India with excellent colour, sharpness, & lighting. Good sharpness & dof. Merci pour le partage!

cobbydale (1958) 2007-01-14 9:29

A good study of Indian street life Laurent, and a well balanced shot. As you say this would be seen as antique in the west, but in India they just seem to get on with it and always there's a way.
cheers, Leon.

lestans (17258) 2007-01-14 10:14

Tailor is a job that doesn't exist any more in our countries... and in Asia there are so many clever tailors! I like this one, so still and concentrate in his work.

I like to wear dresses made by such tailors, I have some made in India or in Thailand,

Your compo is very nice: half picture is the street, and half is tailor's shop

erdna (5713) 2007-01-14 10:54

A tailor doing his trade right on the side of the street in contrast with the heavey pedestrian traffic! I like this scene and I like your point of view. Very well done!

Hi Laurent,
A fine street scene. Seems like everyone is engaged on his/her routine especially the street tailor. Best wishes. Danilo

Hi Laurent,

Your “Mumbai street shops” is wonderfully continues. I like your position for showing us two different parts and of course tailor duty while he’s checking cord color. Congratulations.

Hi, Laurent! Another worker doing his job seriously in the middle os the multitude! I think it must be a great experience to make part of this so energetic daily-life! Thanks for this nice pic! Salut, mon ami! Miguel.

JCG (35153) 2007-01-15 3:45

Bonsoir Laurent,

Autre scθne de rue instructive. Ce couturier me semble bien ΰ son affaire et fait totalement abstraction du photographe et de la foule. Scθne et matιriel d'un autre temps (on dirait la bonne vieille et efficace machine ΰ coudre SINGER). J'aime bien le contraste entre le premier plan et la rue. Une belle composition.

Avec toutes mes amitiιs et ΰ bientτt,

Jean-Charles

tibervince (781) 2007-01-15 5:04

Bonjour Laurent,
Une photo interessante. On capte bien la vie de la rue ici... On imagine bien le bruit, le mouvement, les odeurs... et cet homme, concentre a son travail... belle image.

Merci!

Vincent

Difficult light here Laurent still a fine kind of daily life shot of he man and his sawing machine. As you say a good contrast to the busy street life outside.

imrek (4) 2007-01-15 5:19

carper (96) 2007-01-15 12:51

very interesting pov here laurent,
I like the worker and the people in the left walking by, very good quality job, well seen and well done.
gr. jaap

tcht (7565) 2007-01-15 13:45

Hi Laurent
Very nice candid capture here...What I like is the different atmospheres portrayed here: the quiet workplace and the baffling street. Very good picture already but if I'm to nitpick I would time it better because I think the person in bright orange with backpack disrupts the balance of the pic a bit.
Regards
CheukHin

TeresaT (10806) 2007-01-15 17:24

Hello Laurent,
Nice portrait of a daily life scene.

Noce nautral colours and light.

sufi (9588) 2007-01-16 15:54

Merhaba laurent, my friend...
It's a beutiful point of view and perspective. The colors and the activity of the background and the peace of the street tailor are perfect... Also perfect light and details...

jafadabret (56501) 2007-01-17 6:34

Laurent c'est une de tes photos reportage comme je les aime. C'est tout ΰ fait dans l'esprit de TE. Cet artisan est tout ΰ son travail alors que la rue est pleine d'animation.
Jacques

Angshu (56760) 2007-01-17 22:38

Good morning Laurent
Well balanced composition with the contrast between the left & the right. The contrasting exposure has been well handled. Your Mumbai street vendor theme is becoming really interesting
Regards
Angshu

john_c (24666) 2007-01-20 3:58

Hi Laurent,
Amazing to see this fellow working away with his sewing machine, while the tourists and backpackers stride by, seemingly oblivious. I like this two part scene, and the diligent intensity evident on the face of the tailor. This is a first rate capture, Laurent. I like this very much...later.
John

Stepan (27210) 2007-02-10 3:06

J'aime beaucoup la simplicitι de tes photos de rue. Pas d'effet particulier, pas de chi-chi. Juste la vie de tous les jours. Et quand on aime l'Inde, je pense qu'on ne peut qu'aimer ce type de prise.
Merci.
Stιphane
