[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,

This is my contribution to 'People at Work'.
I think it must be a lovely way to earn a living, providing that you can get enough customers!

This shot was taken in a lovely, old, cobbled square, inside the ancient, walled town of St. Malo. It was a most atmospheric spot with artists, musicians, dancers and a wealth of street vendours, jostling for an opportunity to sell or perform.

This artist had a number of willing 'sitters' and a large crowd gathered round him to watch his skilful work.

We loved to sit at the street cafes and absorb the cultural atmosphere, or just peope watch!

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

It must be sooo wonderful to be able to paint or draw like this! I have always been a bit envious of people who can do it.
My lack of talent on this field is mainly the cause of my photography career....

I love looking at people painting and I love looking at paintings and art.
So I think this is a lovely picture. It shows the artist at work, his model and his work around him.
Lovely light, sharpness and a lovely scene!

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Beverley

This reminds me of a similar shot I took in Hanoi, Vietnam. A good capture of the artist, his works, & the subject. Good colour & sharpness. Have a nice weekend!

Hi Bev,

These artists can be seen all over France and there work is usually very good as can be seen in this case. An excellent shot showing the artist at work with all her wares displayed, try this in GB and the police would move them on. As usual the details are very sharp and colours are good the pov and dof are very good tfs.

Regards
Jon

Hi Bev

Nice POV on this, by look of the clients face wonder if he really wanted to be there ...
your detail obtained not only on the people but the paintings shows very nicely.

Was thinking if you had been able to a shot over the painters shoulder would have been very interesting as well.

Hi Bev,

Great shot of a man at work, with some of his work. It's quite a contrast between a man who is not at work (I'm assuming that the "sitter" does something else), and one who is. Good detail, and very rich colours -- especially, the green. Very appropriate contribution to the theme. TFS.

Regards,
John

pas facile d'arriver sur une place touristique ce genre de sujet; il y a souvent trop de monde...
bon cadrage qui a su éviter la foule
pas facile non plus je pense de poser; le jeune semble être arrivé à rentrer dans une bulle isolante et celà donne à ta photo une ambiance très particulière et sympathique
enfin bravo à 'artiste qui a un superbe coup de crayon!

Good morning Bev,
This is most fascinating to see an artist at work. You composed this well showing all the props and the intense expression of the client. Well done. Best regards.

HI Bev
Looking at this works this fellow is talented. Just wish his subject would not look so austere.
Good job with the composition taking in so many details with sharpness.

Bonjour Berverley,

Very nice contribution to the theme. Exposure, focus are good. Compostion simple but balanced. Nice work and TFS

Alain

Bonjour Beverley
I am almost sure you know the young man...Don't you?
Nice scene as you can see too near the Sacré Choeur in Paris, Place du Tertre.The description could be the same as that you write here with a lot of cafes and barmen in beginning of the XXth century dress.
Good composition , people in natural attitude and living scene.Maybe should I have tried to blur people in the background or even rubbed the one over the head of the model.
Have a nice sunday
Henri

Hi Beverley!
