Ifty Amin's photostream
|
Maybe I fit in a box, but I don't know what it looks like just yet. I certainly don't want to be pegged down as, for example, a photojournalist, etc. Not just yet. =)
I don't believe in SOOC images being any better than something you tweak and make - if you take the picture, it's your shutter-given right to do anything you want with it and as such post-processing is not only okay, it's ruddy criminal if you can improve an image but won't bother to.
I don't mind people using my pictures, as long as I know about it. My not knowing about it, of course, will likely incur wrath on epic proportions, directed very directly.
I try (no promises) to reply to everyone who comments on my photos - thank you for looking! Having said which. Awards are evil. And generally very tacky, too.
If there's any of my work you'd like to buy, flickrmail me and I'll upload it onto Redbubble - too lazy to move 'em all, otherwise.
Apparently it's a good idea to list your gear on your profile?
Well. Here goes:
Cameras:
Nikon D40
Nikon FE2
Yashica Electro 35 GSN
Lenses:
18-55mm 3.5-5.6 AF-S (Kit lens with D40, non-VR)
28mm f/3.5 AI Nikkor
100mm f/2.8 Series E
35mm f/2.5 Series E
50mm f/2.0 Nikkor-H (Pre AI, one must love the D40 for this alone (=)
55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor P.C, AI'd
105mm f/2.5 Nikkor AI (Gold!)
75-150mm f/3.5 Series E
Soligor 90-230mm f/4.5
300mm f/4.5 Nikkor-AI
PN-11 Extension Tube
Flash:
Something that says NS 290 Senz on it, which I haven't been able to get to trigger off the D40 yet. UPDATE: With ebay optical slave, works like a dream =)
Yashica CS-204, Works =)
Starblitz 3600 BTZ. Works too. Broken hot-shoe, but the slave is nice.
Optical slave thing, ebay.
On the bandwagon! Yongnuo YN 460 MK 1.
Yongnuo 603N Pair
Tripod: El cheapo chinese thing worth about $20.
Monopod: Manfrotto 680B, cheap ball head off Ebay. Quick Release in the works.
Aspirations, to a D400, or whatever else comes in to fill its place by the time I get there =P

"well I'm a silent follower of Ifty Amin. I'm mostly amazed by his photographic view.. he framed those things which are all around him (& also around us too) but the way he framed is really brilliant. mainly he works on abstract .. that is the most difficult arena in photography ( at least to me) .. wish to see more & more capture from u.."

"I walked into his stream about a year back, and have been a fan since. This is a man who redefines art, plays with it, and fills it with his uniqueness. And oh, even his uniqueness has a unique name - 'Iftyness' ;)
If you're willing to go through a photostream that's gonna make you think, his is the one. His compositions will make you think, his tones will make you think, the thoughts behind his photographs will definitely make you think - think about everything that they could mean. I'd say most of his photos are very clear-cut and ambiguous at the same time, and that's one of the reasons why I like his work so much. You can lose yourself in his photographs for a while.
While in the supermassive realm of Flickr it's not difficult to find two (or two hundred) artists having pretty much the same style, it's just plain impossible to find a second 'Ifty'. You'll agree, I bet =)"25th May, 2010

"He is one of my ostads. He's very talented and always comes with innovative ideas in his photos. He plays with lights and shadows. Basically, this is what photography called."

"He's the hand guy on flickr, period.
Nah. Ifty has a lot more on his stream than an opportunity to scrutinize hands and palms and whathaveyou. He's got a few things going in parallel, not quite documentary-ish, but more of continuous stories whose protagonists range from flesh-and-blood street kids of harsh reality to the plastic perfect Bernie with his exciting adventures in the wild world of imagination.
Oh, and he's a great tipster - if you've got questions about techniques, he'll spill the whole nine yards.
I'm very happy to call him a friend (="8th October, 2009

"Ifty, Ifty; I can still remember how we (including Shannon) stumbled upon each other's streams when replying to a thread. It has been fun exploring his stream, especially because he doesn't seem to restrict himself to just 'one kind' of shots. It's always a joy reading his comments; there's always valuable feedback, and sometimes, sharing of information. Definitely not someone you'll expect replies of just a few words, for the sake of replying. Allow me to thank you for your kind comments!
It's been nice knowing him too, and I definitely hope he'll be able to get a pro account. Keep the creative juices flowing, and let us all improve together! :)"25th May, 2009
