Hi Roy,

An excellent one again. Your african b&w series are really impressive, perhaps you should publish them in independent picture-book?
Congrats

roy,
this series of yours is simply outstanding: the more you post, the more i like it.
you cross the territory of documentary photography and merge it with intimate portrait techniques and your personal style. the result is absolutely excellent.
bravooooo!

Hi Roy, I think this is one of the best ones in this series yet! Very lively and expressive shot. The use of the Depth of Field is very effective, obscuring the kids in the background so that they are still a part of the composition, recognisable in their actions and moods, but not in the prime scope of attention. The tonal range is perfect, an excellent contrast in both the dark, shady parts as well as in the highlights and bright areas. Very dynamic, and absolutely one of my favourites. Very impressive travel documentary. On what purpose where you in Zimbabwe? These are not the typical holiday shots.....

Cheers,

Hugo
