In a very good timing, as if the people of the OCA knew that I'm just starting this course I went to a exhibition visit arranged by the OCA for Steve McCurry exhibition in Birmingham.
Well, if you would like to motivate someone to take this course, this is the place to take him.
Not that I needed any motivation, this exhibition was hypnotizing for me, I could stand and look at that photos forever. I loved the fact that most of his strongest portrait didn't had background at all! It was a blur colour that left only the face to tell the story. And the expression on people faces were so real! I had a feeling in most of his portrait that the subject there is more curious about the photographer than the other way round. If we consider the time (80's) and places (most far east) the photos were taken that can be reasonable.
In the other photos the colours is. for my opinion, what makes the photo, and Steve McCurry had an eye for catching the colours in the street. My favorite photo was the procession of nuns, Yangon, Burma, 1994 that in it he mange to catch so much as if he was painting it.
And now... let's start
