Your work is brilliant mate, love the content, but also really love the lighting effects.
Mike de Lange replied
Thanks again Wayne, glad you like it. Sometimes the best opportunities come when the light is most challenging to deal with.

Your portraits are great! They look in a way like painted portraits from renaissance or baroque-age, when artists added some symbolic “attributes” to
portrayed people, to give information about their position in society. Male and female objects were very different of course. The small object in this mans hand is as important as his car. Your composition, light, colour: just perfect
Mike de Lange replied
Thanks for the huge compliment Thomas. In this case, he is holding his prayer beads, identifying his religion as Muslim. I’m glad you took so much care to look at the detail. Regards
Colleen Milburn
Fabulous work, Mike – love the sense of dynamism the perspective creates!
Mike de Lange replied
Thanks Colleen. I was lucky with that shutter behind him to enhance the perspective.
Ric Alexander

It simply works in all aspects, excellent lines and perspective, great contrast and light, superb post processing and composition. Your portraits are connected to their environment and reveal a slice of life that is true and authentic. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.
