Same, same but different, a photo from Chittagong, South

Photographer's Note

One of the most interesting aspects about trekking in the south-east of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, is that as you get closer to the Burmese border the people become so familiar for me. Having spent many trips in the area just the other side in Burma, the similarity was striking. Their clothes, their headdress, the religion, the dialect, even their pipes remain the same.The Rakhine/Marma people were separated by the British in 1947 when they drew the country boundaries.

Hallo Elaine,
Een prachtig portret van deze vrouw. Uitstekende scherpte en ze steekt zo mooi af tegen de donkere achtergrond.

Hi Elaine,
Wonderful portrait of this woman with a pipe. Look to the side adds originality. Dark background works well and light toned scarf gives contrast.

Again a great street portrait in bl/w. I don't mind, please keep them coming as they are all really good. Many things to like here, e.g. that typcial pipe and the position of the hands. Superb sharpness and good dark background to bring out the beauty.

Congratulations & groetjes!

Benny

Hello Elaine
You showed a beautiful portrait of this woman. The sharpness and exposure are excellent. I want to know how did you get the blackness behind him?
Thanks for sharing
