This photo I initially processed black and white and I liked it but I did another version (this one) which seems more correct to my eye. Quite happy to blow out the highlights, always happy to do that. I don’t like the border wordpress chose to frame this, detracts (in fact I disliked it so much I’ve changed the whole blog theme) [actually i had to change it back as it was cropping all the images, arrgghh!! my only solution is to host the blog myself. will get onto that tomorrow perhaps]

In my studies we look alot at how the brain processes expressions and also their universality. Closely related are emotions, most particularly not their differences but their overlap. For example I was reading the other day that angry and happy people act in a more similar manner than angry and fearful people. It probably comes down to the physical and biological manifestation of an emotion rather than the meanings we use to categorise them.

In this case Nipun is actually giving me a look of annoyance (i think i made some quip about her team) but the effect is something else. That is the power and the challenge of photography, you create a reflexive loop between the subject, the photographer, the moment, the camera and the viewer – bouncing iterative feedback.
