Toothless granny

Rafał Lindemann — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:00:00 +0000

All the time, while I was shooting, she was haggling for her "payment", bursting with laughter, tapping my shoulder, and talking with her companion... It was really hard to catch a decent, sharp frame, but I'm trully happy with the results... This was a photo of the day

Baby drinking milk

Rafał Lindemann — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 11:00:00 +0000

In the middle of the island we found a baby resting in the hammock, drinking milk, and looking around curiously. Her mother invited us for a little talk, and a couple of shots of course...

Girl on a bike

She were passing us by, stopped, smiled and waited to have a picture... Than waited again to see it... Once again I've regreted that we didn't have a printer with us.

Chilling on the fastboat to Gili islands

Rafał Lindemann — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:09:00 +0000

The best way to experience Bali, is to get out of it as quickly as possible, and head out to Gili Air - the most laid back, peacefull, cars-free, full-of-sand, salty-water-only island we've ever been to. And the best way to do it, is on the roof of a fastboat.

Mean monkeys of Uluwatu

With these around, you really have to pay attention to your belongings. Don't even think about changing lenses... This is a manually combined HDR (monkey was moving all the time)

Apart from hordes of tourists, street vendors and litter, there is still an abundance of great looking vistas in Bali...

Daily life

Rafał Lindemann — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:09:00 +0000

Little offerings for their gods, hand made, packed with raw food and kopiko sweets. Twice a day, at every door in Bali, no matter - business, or home...

Overcrowded motorbikes, impossible-looking piles of stuff on bikes, cars, heads...

Among rice fields, we've found woman carrying bowls full of sand on their heads... Men were sitting nearby in a shade, watching, smiling and smoking cigarettes...

Fishermen posing like rap stars. Pity that i had no mobile printer with me. They _really_ wanted to get a photo :)

But that was only guys, woman weren't that interested...

Travelling with children (in Indonesia)

Rafał Lindemann — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:00:00 +0000

That's how you travel with children in Indonesia (Bali)... Sadly, quite a common view. Still probably better than riding on a scooter in 5 people...

You don't have to agree, but for me, it's by far one of my best attempts on people. It's not a candid shot, there is shake and fear, delicate children and steel bars...

I know, I know... She really didn't want to be on this photo, but I simply couldn't resist those frames...

Indonesia

Rafał Lindemann — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 11:57:00 +0000

After a long break, I've managed to finish another set - from our trip to Indonesia in 2010... It's not a long one, and mostly portraits, on which I'm getting better, after the last trip to China. The difference here is, that I was using mostly 50mm, whereas in China it was 70-210. People are much more approachable in Indonesia!

Longsheng woman

Rafał Lindemann — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0000

These woman never cut their hair - that's their tradition. They should show them only to their husbands, however they do it for tourists for money all the time... We had to convince them hard, that we don't won't them to untangle their hair, and they couldn't believe it...

Sometimes, when you "shoot" people you find interesting, it's easy to forget, that you can be also interesting for them...

Food sometimes can give you a stare…

Rafał Lindemann — Fri, 20 May 2011 09:00:00 +0000

I don't like to eat meat, that resembles the animal before cooking... There is however a far worse category - food that stares at You...
