Critique: Good enough for National Geographic

Stalin-RameshSid Vasandani has carved a niche for himself as a fashion photographer at a very young age. In his first critique on Fotoflock he has selected two images which he feels are good enough to feature in National Geographic.



I went through a number of members’ portfolios and I really like Stalin Ramesh’s work. I have selected two of his many good images as these two particularly caught my eye. I like the lighting used in both the images and it looks perfect for wildlife photography.

Looking at these images I can tell that the photos have been taken in natural light. A bit of retouching is seen in the images. I cannot be too sure if the photographer has made use of Photoshop or not but if at all he has, I would say it is a very good use of Photoshop and even Photoshop is very much a part of photography now. I would call it a good use of Photoshop because the images don’t look fake and I like that. The final product looks good.

Both the images have a feel of a painting and are very well composed. It looks as if all the things have fallen in place for these images and this shows that the photographer has a good sense of timing. Stalin-Ramesh2

Since I have seen most of the images in the members’ gallery I must say there are quite a few impressive portfolios to look at. Out of all the images in Stalin’s portfolio the wildlife photography is brilliant which proves that these two images are not chance shots or a lucky click. There remains room for Stalin to improve in portraits, although there are only two in his portfolio. I got to see a number of other interesting portraits than his.

I feel his wildlife photography is good enough for National Geographic.

Sid Vasandani is a famous fashion photographer. He has earned a degree in photography from the Rajasthan School of Arts’ and took up photography as a profession in 2004. He enjoys playing his guitar and games on the PC
