For
nine days Hindus around the world celebrate
Navarathri, the worship of the three
goddesses: Shakti, Lakshmi and Saraswathi
who represent courage, wealth and knowledge
respectively. The Temple of Fine Arts
in Kuala Lumpur staged a series of performances
in celebration.
Story: A sculptural
pose
The South Indian classical dance,
Bharathanatyam is an unique blend of
eyes, emotions, expressions and gestures.
An irresistible but challenging subject
for the camera. To isolate the main
subject, I used selective focus with
the surrounding dancers acting as a
'frame'.
