“Among all – Human faces are most attractive to me. Every face has a story. We as photographers reveal that undiscovered story through our lens. Faces tell stories, tell the situation of the person, and tell the story of the place the person lives in. Wherever I go somewhere I always come across to faces those are different and eventually try to find characteristic of the community; every place has its own perception, story of smell, a person bears these things in his/her appeal. I search for story behind the face, so faces are incredible to me. Through out searching the portrait we could find strange stories of lives of people from different places that we never recognize before. I am going to share my experiences during the journey of finding unnoticed faces”
– Gmb Akash
I search for getting an interesting character, a face that is unusual. I search such face in the middle of crowd. My first prior attention is the selection of the person, choosing the right character. Before I take any portrait I try to be familiar with the person. I talk to him/her and try to build a relationship with the person I will photograph. I give them time to be normal in front of my camera. I introduce myself to them. When the person gives his/her most natural expression to me, I take out my camera then start shooting. I believe it is the strongest factor which I practice so far to get a close snap of a human soul.
For me light is the most important element for getting an excellent portrait. I try to use different type of light; I try to shoot in different time of the day to get different colour and mode of light. Every light has its own appeal for creating different portraits of an individual.
Technically I use 35mm (f 1.4), 24-70 mm (2.8) lenses. But I take portrait with all kind of lens I have. Truly to say I do not care about my equipments much. For me the most important is – the person. Some times I also use very open aperture like 1.4 to get very low depth of field. So my eyes only go to my subject. As in some cases the surrounding environment is very important, so in that time I use aperture 8 to get all the elements in focus. But I do not like using very wide angel lens and I do not like a lot of distortion on the photo. I saw many people use wide angel lens for most of their works. If you use very wide thing, the picture look interesting because of the distortion. But in my opinion then the picture looks like it has taken by the wide angel lens not by a photographer. So I don’t use too much wide angle. And thus I try to make my images clean and direct.
I have strong affection for color. I am a color photographer and I believe color photography is more challenging so as complicated. When I can meet the challenge I feel relieved. I am always very careful for using light and color. I love shooting in the early morning and late afternoon. But while I take portrait in the mid day I try to shoot them in the shadow, indoor or under flat light. It creates mystical environment.
I try to use very simple background while I am taking close up portrait, so that the background might not disturb the subject and I try to use lot of – window soft light. Eyes have significance to me. One of the most important things in my images is eyes of the person. Eyes tell the story of that person. Eyes tell the unseen background of the person which I always hunt to discover.
– For me the most prior factor is the character of my portrait. The light, color, eyes & the person must have to be blend with me. I align four factors together for taking a special portrait they are – the person, the light, eyes & color.
– Attention is the most hidden factor to get a good portrait. The person need to be familiar with you and the camera, it will be your prior duty to make the person natural as well comfortable for getting a best shot.
– Several rules applied by photographers for getting experimental portraits. Every photographer has his/her own style of taking portrait. Often the most remarkable portraits are those that break all the rules, so it’s important to create your own rules to get a master copy which might never done by some one before.
– Expression indicating the direction of the person’s eyes which can impact an image astonishingly. For me it’s important to observe the right moment of the direction of eyes.
– For creating interesting images you need to give trial, for creating interesting placement of your subject. After Creative thinking, creative placement can sometimes create out of the ordinary images.
– There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to use light in portraits. Input of light could make a portrait more or less powerful, as well side lighting, back lighting, silhouetting can spot specific features.
– Never fail to align your mind, eyes & lens together to find the inner beauty of the portrait.
“Any Book or text or any experience sharing can not demonstrate “Portraits” practically. Pick your camera explores faces to get a good portrait. And you are welcome if my single practical example or feedback could uphold your knowledge”

GMB Akash I feel constantly renewed by seeing your work.
Not only the visual impact that gives me, but the voices, the smells, the lives that your lens captures. It’s amazing, I see more life in a single photo of your portfolio than the entire work of some artists.
You said something very interesting that I will transcribe:
“Among all – Human faces are most attractive to me. Every face bears a story. ”
I think so too, every human being has a detail, a look or a smile so unique, that sometimes takes my breath away. Glad to have more people thinking like that. And I’m even happier for the fact you give voice to unsung heroes.
Again, I first met your portfolio in my city, Oporto,and for the first time an artist had the ability to thrill me deeply through his strong humanist sense.

I’ve always loved anthropology and history–however the two leave you with hardly more than a pile of bones. The faces–the glimmering peeks into an ephemeral humanity are gone. Lost forever. The images you’ve captured are so special. Without them, no trace would remain of these people. People without fame–or vast storehouses of riches. People blessed only with a thin, weak skin separating them from eternity.

This is why I enjoy taking pictures of faces. I like being able to take pictures of pretty much everyone. Some tell me they say they’re not photogenic or they’re not model material. But I urge them to just be themselves. I just want to capture who they are as a person. Their natural selves which is so much better than snapping a shot of something set up or posed. I don’t mind doing that, but for me, the joy of taking pictures is capturing a moment that isn’t expected… or a facial expression that a person may not have unveiled before. ^__^

I have to admit it Akash….I spend quite a lot of time looking at people’s faces. I try to be inconspicuous ….but there are times when I just can’t help staring. I love faces. When I say…”What a great face!” , friends don’t understand, because the wonderful face in question doesn’t fit the world’s definition of beautiful or handsome. But what stories they tell!
Thank you for sharing these amazing faces, and for the helpful suggestions that may assist those among us who are too shy to begin the conversation that puts people at ease. You have mastered that skill beautifully……

I absolutely love your photos but I love and admire more the thoughts of how faces tell stories or finding peculiar faces because I think that´s the greatest thing about photography, because is easy to take photos of something obviously pretty but being able to photograph something different and/or crude reality and giving it certain beauty is the true art.

I believe everything said made a bunch of sense.
But, what about this? what if you added a little content?
I am not suggesting your content is not solid, however suppose
you added something that makes people desire more?
I mean Faces Tell Stories | GMB AKASH is a little plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home
page and see how they create post titles to get viewers
interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people
excited about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it
could make your posts a little bit more interesting.
