COMPOSITION AND LIGHT STUDY IN DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY

Compositional Beauty Of Village life

To be creative in documentary photography looks strange. But in my personal opinion, documentary photography without some creative and balanced composition would not have the real impact on the viewer. In this picture I waited the bull cart to reach at perfect position where the main tree was making a strong starting point. It acts as a pivot and prop from where the elements of the picture move. I deliberately kept the saturation very mild to keep the soothing morning effect intact. In spite of that the warmth of the yellow morning light of winter have created a very pleasing contrast in the pictures. That picture also showing the cultural beauty and simplicity of the rural life in Asia. farmers have a routine to go to their fields after a break fast of butter and “Lassi” with house made chapati of corn.
