A very good beginning in photo.net. Only two images in your portfolio now. But both the images exhibit your mastery of this media and artistic bent of mind. Hope to see more excellent images from you in future.Best regards,Rakeshji.

Thank you so much for your comments. You are really way too kind. I really enjoy looking at your portfolio. There are a number of excellent images here. I love the "New Morning", it evoke such feeling, advanture, even a littel saddness in the image. Your color images are full of vibrant colors, details, and stories.
Please post more, as I need to learn your art. I mostly shoot only one subject, so I can truely learn from your skill in capturing some many different subjects.
Thank you again, Alex

Thank you for visiting Rakesh. The only thing that disappointed me on your ortfolio was a lack of a big collection. Very good colors. Shall come back for more. What is the secret to your lighting. All of the images are so well lit.
Umair Ghani , July 08, 2006; 12:48 A.M.
awesome potrfoilio! very unique style of work with comprehensive study of light & composition. i find ur work interesting bc like old painting masters u work more in shadows than light. its that amazing control that lets light fall excatly where its needed & more like rembrandt, stays around the centre of the frame rather than the endges. besides impressive B&W, ur inspirational hues strongly hold the eye. i just fell in love with ur work. regards!

GREAT EYES YOU HAVE
Again a new visit, every time I came here and I think perhaps one day I will have a portfolio which is even half as beautiful as yours and I would consider myself lucky! Truely inspiring stuff! I love your depictions of people for a start, somehow managing to capture so much personality in your portraits. You also obviously have a great eye for detail and for getting an interesting viewpoint. Great angles and shapes in some of your more abstract stuff. I think I can safely say that yours is my favorite portfolio on PN and I will be back without doubt! Proud to have you as an Indian as I am. Rgds.

Good Afternoon From Qatar My Friend
Sir, My name is Rashed and I am 24 years old, I do not know how I
reached this Portfolio of yours, but here I am, swimming in very high
skill and wonderful world of photography. You remind me with your portrait with kursh, a Master who I like to learn from his School Of Portrait Photographic Art. All this might not mean any thing to you as we being in different world but please understand that with all of the hard times I have with my English and little experiences in this field I try my best to promote the Art of Photography in my part of the
world That why I do my best to build a photographic site and having in mind to raise its class as much as I can future wise. There for Sir, I like to invite you to join my site and let people from Qatar and other GCC countries to learn from your work I live in Doha the Capital city and father was and still a serious photographer, although he never though of making any money out of it but he was and still a great investor to this field. It is some times so hard to find the appropriate words in English to express how I feel about your work, but let say, I like what I have seen a lot and wishing you a very long happy and peaceful life.

lighting
hi rakesh - on briefly going through your gallery, i must say it means a lot to get a compliment on lighting from someone who has mastered the effective use of it. your collection of mystique-themed portraits is, simply put, beautiful to look at.
frankly, i was surprised this portrait turned out as well as it did: it was an impromptu night-time shoot at home, with the rather garish, dim light from household lamps requiring a high iso. i guess sometimes the shadow play that such lighting naturally causes leads to interesting pictures!
i look forward to examining your pictures in more detail, in particular to enjoy the vibrant colors you somehow manage to capture - vikram.

ISO lated words!
Sir,
daily, in every morning, when I make the last preparations to share some pictures or just in my usual ramblings at deep corners in PN, when I am not sure if one image exposed there can be "good eat for the eye's hungry light", I return here and I looking again in your marvellous portofolio. After that, my natural reaction is to renounce because here, in every picture, I can see the majestically danse of that subtile light waltzing in couple with the perfect tonality of the dark, all in combination with the diplomacy of fine spirit of art. Your work is like a diamond, is pure, positive, firmly... if you want, is like a lotus. Remain just your distinctive images where the words are unspeakable...
Thank you!

Your play with light and shadow is just remarkable. And you've got an unique way of introducing color, in the exact quantity (no matter if color is just an accent or if it's everywhere). You really have a lot of talent and experience I suppose. I've got a lot to learn from your work and for that I thank you.

Hello Friend!
Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.
I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.
Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Impressive portfolio!! What is amazing particularly for me is that you've using a Nikon D70s - same as what I have. I'm also using the same lenses that you've used but I am dismayed that I just can't get the finesse that you have portrayed. Do you always use a tripod for all your photos? Regards, Sudhir

Raj Nandwana , July 17, 2008; 02:33 A.M.
Dear Rakeshji
It is a great pleasure for me to have your comments and suggestion. Your outstanding portfolio cannot be missed on photo.net.
Prior to hosting the picture on PN I had looked into the classical concepts of portrait photography and you have a very valid point there. On the other had it made me feel that the intensity of the expression was diluted with the suggested space and therefore I adapted to the unconventional presentation.
Once again I stay indebted for the time you have taken to send me your valuable suggestion and I continue to look forward for more inputs of your thoughts and experience.
warm regards Rajen

dear rakeshji
The year 2008 has gone by so quickly.the events in last few weeks in mumbai have been tragic, shocking and inhuman. may god bless mercy and do not show us such days again.
It was though your motivation and support, I have learnt some more in Photography.
I take this oppertunity in wishing you and your family a joyous 2009.
best wishes from Mumbai India

EXCELLENT 7/7
Today, during my visit to EXHIBITION of your PHOTOGRAPHS, at vanue GALLERY ARTMOSPHERE in LUDHIANA, noticed that there are very less Photographers, who understand the ALGEBRA /MATHEMATICS/GEOMATERY of LIGHTING, EXPOSURE AND reading related to SUBJECT and possess great knowledge about PERSPECTIVE AND COMPOSITIION like you. It is a GREAT PRESENTATION and I SALUTE TO YOU AND YOUR TALENT.

hello Rakesh
I have to say that I see you enjoy the studio photography very much from all the wonderfull images that are in your portfolio. Yet I have put 3 of your images from your "slice of life" as my favorites.
You have a natural ability to capture candid scenes that are almost genious.
I think that you should continue in that direction as well.
Cheers from New York.

I am kinds revisiting PN after a long break. Two years may be. One of the very few names i still remeber is that of you.
Greatness is a word thats used too often and bestowed on too many. But i sincerely believe it would sit pretty on your crown ( its irrelevant that you have a thick mop on top of it already). Lol.
Find no words to describe how I feel every time I visit your portfolio. 'Gasping for breath' may be one of the many feelings.
You are one of the few who has the combination of an uncanny eye, a great sense of aesthetics, huge technical knowhow and absolute mastery over PS. If what i say, sounds like plain flattery, the prob lies in my language, not my feelings.
Great going.

Hello, Rakeshji
It's been a while since I last visited your gallery. Of course, I knew that your collection would grow with increasing number of perfect shots. I suppose returning after a gap gives a jolt to the senses and a reminder of how much further I have to go. This time around, I like your b/w compositions (Father and Son, Angry Young Lady) and others like "Looking Forward, Looking Inward". What I really want to learn is how you achieve such clarity and colour in your shots. Even in b/w, the details are astonishing, and this is especially with reference to when you do not shoot in controlled environments.
Here's looking forward to learning more from your work while enjoying them.
