Topic: People of Khartoum book

[calbisu]

After one year and a half I finally put together my book ¨People of Khartoum¨, which is the result of one year spent in... Khartoum  This is my first finalised project, the shooting (with a Rollei and a Polaroid) was plagued with encounters with Sudanese secret police, one attempted assault, and lots of laughing and confusion with Sudanese people. The most difficult part, I dare to say, was the editing (selection) of the photographs; after that I chose a classic look for the book. I ordered three books until I was satisfied with the result, some of the paper choices are quite dark (we are speaking about Blurb company) therefore I softened the contrast in some cases so pictures do not look too contrasty when printed.

Just in case you want to give it a look here is the link  http://www.blurb.com/books/5300016-people-of-khartoum  and below some examples

Wow, a year in Sudan. Were you there strictly to photograph, or was this incidental to some other purpose? Fascinating subject, nice shots.

I was working with an international organization. Usually my street photography style is more casual, with subjects not being aware of being phtographed, but in the streets of Khartoum I was too obvious as to pass unnoticed..
