Inquiring minds were wondering about this photo, Shades by Michael Aubrey.
“This past July, I had the great opportunity to go to Bangalore, India to visit our office there and work with the local team who helps us with print and digital production work. Unfortunately, I didn’t get an opportunity to do a “proper” photo walk as I usually love to do in new places. Instead, I was always being whisked away from hotel to office at terrifying and break neck speeds in traffic coming at you in all directions. So quick snap shots had to suffice. At one point, we got caught in heavy traffic and this man appeared outside my window, selling incense. I was lucky to have my good camera with me and quickly snapped off this shot before being whisked away again. The contrast between him being somewhat of a beggar, but with very cool glasses (as well as the shocking white hair) was intriguing. When I got home, I just decided to do nothing more in post production then turn the photo to black & white. It turned into a “keeper” among a thousand other shots.”
When asked how long he was a photographer , Michael said , ” I got my first camera when I was ten years old. It was a Kodak Instamatic with those amazing film cartridges and rotating flash cubes. The first picture I took was an off-center snap of the Matterhorn.”
He continued, “I caught the camera bug from my father, but learned the art of photography through my own eyes. I have had the great good fortune to work with some of the world’s best cinematographers, still photographers, and film editors. I love the ability to compose and capture light, color, depth and special moments or places that a camera provides.”
“Now, I try to find imagery that exudes a sense of peace and purpose at a specific moment in time. I loved the feel of film but embrace technology. The advances in post-production since the dark room days are revolutionary. It’s exciting to bring that to bear on what has been captured in my camera. That balance between reality and extraordinary is what I seek in every image I process and present.”
