BRILLIANT PAINTINGS 

by KAMALKY LAUREANO 

 

G'day folks,

As I always say, some folks were given extraordinary talent, and here is one of them.

 They have a special gift and are able to paint with incredible precision that viewers may even second-guess their eyesight. Kamalky Laureano is one such talented artist, whose paintings can easily be confused with high-resolution photos. This artist, who hails from the Dominican Republic, has put a lot of attention into the details. You will notice the freckles, pores, and skin texture, making it difficult to believe that it was painted on canvas. You can actually see the countless hours spent perfecting the work, dedication and exceptional talent portrayed in his artwork. Take a look: 

Clancy's comment: Extraordinary detail, eh? Well done, Kamalky!

CREATIVE COSTUMES 

AND MAKEUP 

AT RIO CARNIVAL

 

G'day folks,

For years now, Patrick Sister has been photographing people during the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. 

Despite what most people know, the best part of Carnival is not the samba schools, but the street blocks where people put on costumes and makeup, and party all day long.

Being a participant of the Carnival in the street blocks for over 20 years, he created a project called Humanos do Carnaval (Humans of Carnival), and for 5 years, he has been taking portraits. Hope you enjoy them!

 

Clancy's comment: Wow, Patrick has captured some stunning, and pretty, faces. 

I'm ...

- FACES -

G'day folks,

Welcome to another group of photographs that I took recently. Today, I feature faces. The gorgeous young boy above was taken in Bangkok, but he comes from Indonesia. I saw his dad walking along with his three kids and asked if I could take their picture. The father asked the kids if it was okay. What did the three kids do? They stood beside me and gave me a cuddle, thinking that their dad was taking a snap of me and the three kids. That was a great moment. Anyway ...

Clancy's comment: There ya go. Looking at faces through a camera lense is startling, and very personal. You can feel and see their angst, their happiness, their worry, and feel their pain.
