  2. Wow, lovely composition. What is the old thinking about? The eyes reveal a lot and yet conceal more. Loved this shot :)

    Regards

    1. I have a question, Joshi:
      I observe that you take a lot of portraits, and of course they will all be copyrighted, but it’s widely accepted that one can/should not publish such portraits on the net without a signed statement to that effect giving you permission to do so.

      So – when you take a picture – like this last one – with a quality that shouts for recognizion, thus publishing, how do you go about it? I imagine there would be language barriers to cross? And can one expect the ‘motives’ to understand the implications of becoming a ‘star’ over night? Do they know/understand what they eventually are signing, or are they ignorant of the fact?

  60. @Seenorway Release is needed for commercial uses only if I am not wrong. But yes, I was actually going to ask same question to Joshi today.

    @Joshi Great portrait and it looks like she was measuring you up in her own way. She might even have easily read your mind :)
