Week 2 Picture
The photographer of this photo is Seyit Konyali. This is a photograph of a shepard in Beyşehir, Turkey. Shortly after the birth of his lambs he wears a poncho made of their mothers wool to make the lamb feel closer to him. He does this while their mothers are out feeding to gain trust from the lambs while they are young. In this photo the focal point is the shepard, this is achieved by taking the photo while the lamb are moving so they appear to be blurry or in action. This photo made me think of the saying "a wolf in sheep clothing". ..with a twist. The shepard's goal is to gain trust and intimacy with the lamb so that they will trust him as they grow. Clearly this is working as evidenced by he lamb sitting on his lap.

wow! i think this is so interesting! i love it! The concept of the photo and how the photographer used the movement to drive us towards the focal point is pretty cool! and the whole concept of the twist is very ingenious! keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool and makes you wonder if all shepards do this to gain the trust of their young sheep.
ReplyDeletethis picture i very poweful
ReplyDeleteI love your interpretation and the idea of a wolf in sheep's clothing. I like the movement that changes the focal point and probably the interpretation of the photograph.
