This is one of the best portrait galleries on Pbase !! Did you have to ask all of these people if you could take their pictures, or was it more spontaneous ?

Seikomatic		06-Sep-2005 05:53
I see lives...........from these.

Once I started looking at these portraits I couldn't stop. I think I looked at every one of them. Beautiful. Thank You. Patrick

great pictures, well done! Hans

After reading the previous comments, I realize that my predecessors said it all. Accept a Canadian's gratitude for this wonderful selection. I am reminded of the great photography exhibition "The Family of Man". There is in your photographs the same feeling of universality as in that collection. You should indeed publish in book form. I only came upon your work by accident. But what a happy accident!!

Outstanding, amazing! You show many characters and I like the idea of taking so many and different portraits! Thanks for sharing! Piet ( peterfree ) from the Netherlands.

Aaron Peterson		03-May-2004 09:03
Great character in these faces - you've done an outstanding job of capturing them

Bruce		02-May-2004 17:14
Great photographs. Thank you for your postings these are stunning!

anu		28-Apr-2004 22:00
great.. work.

Guest		28-Apr-2004 05:21
WOW! These are amazing!

Guest		18-Apr-2004 21:56
What impresses most is that you really achieved to deliver faces that, for a relevant part of your viewers, are clearly marked as of remote origin. Yet, they look so comfortable with the camera and close to us. I think the overall portfolio would benefit with a brief comment from you to guide us towards your thoughts.

Shankar		16-Apr-2004 20:12
Nice pictures indeed. Looks like you spent lots of money and time shooting with these willing subjects. I know it is not really easy convincing them to pose for the camera. As someone mentioned earlier, you should consider publishing a book or having a show or someting. Ofcourse the pictures are beautiful, but a little story of the subject and the place where you shot would make the photo even more beautiful and interesting. When you get a chance look at Raghubir Singh's books on amazon.com He is a very famous Indian photo-journalist from NY. "River of Colour" by Raghubir Singh is an excellent book, but there are many others. Each photo in his book has a story to tell. I am also suggesting that you publish your work. Good Luck. Cheers. Tata. Cheerio.

Paul Teixeira		13-Jan-2004 16:59
Great work, Bruce! Best regards, Paul Teixeira

Bruce - Your work is superb. I have been in photography for 50 years, have studied the "masters" of the art, and have seldom been moved so profoundly as by your portraits. Most are excellent, all are fascinating, and some (especially some of the double portraits) are absolutely stunning! You have a major talent, and some of your portraits are world class, worthy of museum exhibit and collection. Their simplicity, directness and total lack of artifice let us connect with that person in a very powerful emotional way. This is the real power of art when done by a master; it bypasses words and logic and "figure-figure" and transmits the soul of the subject directly into your heart. Not many photographers in the history of photography have managed to do this. I believe that you are one of them. Please continue your work. It is immensely important. Irv Williams

Guest		27-Dec-2003 18:16
What interesting faces. You have caught some great expressions and feelings in them. Congratulations!

Guest		22-Dec-2003 16:15
Wonderful work. Your portraits are so alive with the personality of these people. I appreciate how difficult it can be to get this sort of cooperation from your models.

Bruce		20-Dec-2003 18:24
Hi Anna.. I shoot sony F717. When I upgrade to something else... I will convert it to a dedicated IR shooter. Till then I am quite happy with it. Bruce

Anna Yu		19-Dec-2003 19:10
Nice gallery of portraits. What camera do you use? Regards/Anna

I love people-photo's and you've got some great ones here Danny

Matt Reichel		05-Oct-2003 17:13
Fantastic protraits, they remind me a lot of my time living in Nepal. The Hindu culture is very similar. Excellent work, thanks for sharing!

Guest		04-Oct-2003 23:20
BVCUMA, I was born and spent first 20 years of my life in India. I have never seen an excellent photographer like you. You know how to bring real beauty and reality out of people. I do not know how you do it. Hope, I can do it someday. I take a lot of pictures of people from Indian origin and now residing in U.S.A. I can not even come close to your expertise. You are inspiring me. If you do not mind, can you give me some pointers ? Thanks, Bharat J. Sutaria.

Guest		04-Oct-2003 07:24
Bruce, Great Portraits. I would have appreciated if you had mentioned somewhere that these pictures were shot somewhere in the Indian sub-continent.
