just read about this pic taken by Divyanshu Verma at Maha Kumbh Mela and I'm loving the stats on how he took it! 90% of mobile camera edits are to enhance color depth & richness, and Verma is proof that you can do it w/ creative constraint . Plus, his shots are averaging a 4.5/5 engagement rate on Instagram - 75% more engaging than the average pic! And let's talk about composition: did you know that the rule of thirds can increase engagement by 22%? Verma nailed it w/ the red saree & Ganges River backdrop - perfect proportions!
I had my cousin's wedding there like 5 years ago โ, we stayed in a crazy hostel with like 10 other families from our village... it was so much fun! I love the saree in that picture tho, my aunt has something similar at home . The way the light is shining on her makes me think of when I got sunburnt during the festival . And omg, the photographer's phone skills are insane! My friend's kid took a pic with their grandma's old camera and it was so grainy but still kinda cool .
I just saw this photo from Maha Kumbh Mela and it's so stunning! I love how the photographer used natural light to bring out the colors of the saree - it adds such depth to the image. What I find really cool is that he edited it on his phone, which you don't see much of anymore. It shows that with a little creativity, even a mobile camera can capture something amazing. The way the photographer wove his presence into the photo feels so genuine and meaningful...
I love how this photo went viral! I mean, who wouldn't want a stunning pic of someone in a red saree at the Ganges River? But what really caught my attention was how the photographer used the light to create drama. The way the shadows fell on that vibrant fabric is like art, you know? And it's amazing how he managed to edit the photo without needing fancy equipment โ I think that's a great reminder for all us wannabe photographers out there! What I'd love to fact-check next time: did the festival really have a "calm" atmosphere amidst all those pilgrims?
