SALA - South Australian Living Artists - pic heavy

Each year at this time we have 3 weeks of exhibitions by artists of all kinds within South Australia. Today was the last day and there was a street party with exhibitions and working artists. Here are few shots from the day.

Lovely casual portraits here - I dig it!

Fab series, Love "artist 4", the concentration on the artists and the dreaming closed eyes of the canvas. A position of total trust. What a great shot. Also love the potter .... very nice.

Thanks guys. This was a little outside my normal comfort zone. I don't very often take portraits and I never approach people to ask if I may photograph them, like I did for these shots. I did enjoy it though.

In my experience (and i am introverted by nature)....when you get the stones to ask, people tend to say yes. My success rate in getting "yesses" is well over 90%.
Do it more often and it becomes less intimidating and builds confidence.

Seems like a great day had by all. Nice pics.

Thanks for that Smiley

I was surprised at how positive most of the people were, so will definitely be doing it again

The whole set is excellent RM,. Can't pick a fave here as all so well done. You have captured the love, and dedication, to each's art so well.

Very nice series of images.

Thanks AntZ & HBG
