Carmel Market

A vendor and a shopper at the Carmel market in Tel Aviv Israel. The Carmel Farmers Market (CFM), a growers-only market, is Tel Aviv’s biggest and busiest marketplace filled with colorful stalls and shouting vendors selling a variety of goods, from dried fruits and exotic spices to clothing and footwear an exciting and bountiful place to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, eggs and plants. Many vendors have their own songs, which tell you all about the price and quality of what is being sold. Sometimes one vendor sings against another in a competitive duet. The market runs into side streets, large and small, one side favoring dry goods, and the other dried beans, fruit, nuts, and spices in all colors and fragrances, sold from sacks.

    A very nice capture , although the young man doesn’t look to happy , maybe he is camera shy.

  • Eyal Nahmias replied

    Thanks Irene, I’m not sure if he was camera shy or just stopped on his track when he was photographed handling money…. :-)

    A wonderful image. Not only the general attractiveness of the “live” shot but composition-wise the textures & colours of the fruit, the mono-colours of the clothing of the buyer and the seller the darkened area to the right with just a hint of skylights (?) and lastly the magical look on the buyer’s face ( all business and focus) and the the startled quizical look on the young man selling. All adds up to the allure for me of your image. Just magical.

    I love the strong composition which is helped by the blocks of strong colour. What really makes it for me though is that ‘decisive moment’ when the vendor makes eye contact in mid transaction. Might I make a teensy weensy suggestion though – perhaps tone down the red blob by the buyer’s nose?

  • Eyal Nahmias replied

    Thanks caroline. I do appreciate your feedback. looking at the red bag in the BG I can see how it seems as an extension or draws attention to the lady’s nose. Never thought about it, but now.. well, its the same effect as one says don’t think about an elephant.. :-) I will work it and clone it down… Thanks for the observation

  • Eyal Nahmias replied

    Done.. let me know what you think
