Indian Wedding Portrait, A Colourful Spectacle - The Uncle

in portraitphotography •  7 years ago 

I was shooting wedding pictures in India back in 2013. India is the perfect place for me to shoot colourful photos, especially wedding photography. I loved the assignment! Below you find one of the results. This is one of the invited guests, the uncle of the bride. The dresses, costumes and make-overs are fantastically prepared. I have seen some extraordinary features during the day. The photo is taken near Mumbai. The person portrayed here agreed for me to share this photo.

As always, all pictures in the photography section are mine and taken with my camera, a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.

I heard that in India they can marry a tree or a dog. Have you ever faced or shoot something like that?

This is indeed a bizarre tribal ritual, which is usually designed to ward off evil spirit. I have never seen it in real life, it happens in some remote villages though as you can find in the media...

In the media, you can find absolutely anything. In the same and interest to hear from the source. You said that you are shooting weddings and I was wondering if you came across such a thing. Thank you for the answer.

No problem @ti-fest!

Just out of curiosity, how did you get these votes on your comments? Is that through Minnowbooster?

Ugh, I need to go back to India. Your pictures are better than mine lol I need a re-do. I'm blaming it on the smartphone (probably just a lack of skills on my part though, if we're being honest haha)
