Inroducing New Series- Silent Portraits
As a photographer i type too much. From now on i am starting a daily series with less chit-chat and bullshit called "Silent Portraits" and i will be using a corresponding tag to to mark it.
The main objective here is just to show the image with no early prejudice. Allow the viewers say what is the first thing that comes into their head or what emotions does it evoke. Without polluting it with the whole story and revealing the veil of mystery too early.
I will be open for a discussion and will be answering questions regarding images in question should you have any. I will also continue my other deeply philosophical posts as previously if someone is up for a deeper conversation.

This Tag is free to be used by anybody if you like the concept and follow the simplest rule: Do Nothing. Meaning you just upload your work and let others interpret it. No text in the post itself.
*You must be an author of the image or it may be checked and flagged.
I like it! I think there should be more photography posts with meaningful photos. Less junky pics for pennies, and more quality photographs with depth to highlight the true essence of photography. I'll look forward to more of your posts.
I agree. The time will pass and things will adjust. Right now it's a mess but order is born from within a chaos.
You project something complex in this photo. There's strength here, but it isn't aggressive. It's almost like a cocoon, focused inward, and impervious to outside interference.
Love this idea. A lot.
Strength is too often mistaken for an evil or brutality. One has to be strong in body and will to fight for the good cause. Thank you for taking a deeper look.
I could only take that look because you shot such a great photo. I'm a fan.
Very nice picture. Sometimes silence is gold. One picture a thousand words. 👌
So true. And if you can maintain the balance of those two it's priceless.
awesome idea man. I'm curious to see how it develops :)
I believe it will be very simple :) An image and possibly a discussion below in the comments if anyone is interested more about the photo itself. We have great stories and will continue to share new ones but this one is just to separate it a little bit. You are welcome to use the tag if you feel like it and want some feedback on the photo itself :)
No more chit-chat and bullshit? What will I read then?
You got it wrong:) There will be as before amd even more :) This is just separate series with no distraction from the image. You do not have a long description next to a painting in a museum, right?:) Just want to isolate some a lil bit :)
Pheww... I am relieved :)

Intriguing..,as an introvert I am DeRoy drawn to the philosophical posts you mentioned...can you give me a link to one of those. Big conversations are my jam 😍
___________!
(I would say more, but am reveling in silence...)
Never underappreciate a piece of good silence :)
I like that! There are times I write too much too!! 🙄 And times when I actually don't want to write anything - when I want to post a picture, you figure out what you want! And maybe we'll talk about it later... Great idea! Are you opening your 'silentportraits' up for others to add to it too?
Yes, i figure just from my own experience here. And of course anyone can use the tag if they want it. Just an image, no bullshit. We can have a discussion about the image and our thoughts about it in the comments below :)
Cool... Following your SilentPortraits' series....
Hope you enjoy it. And know that you are welcome to submit here too. Everybody is.
Ooooohhh, you've opened a big can of worms there...lol; who knows, I just might! ;)
Can't wait :)
This is really a great concept. I'll have to consider making an entry or two.
My 1st impression on this image was Strength in Anonymity.
You are more than welcome @freeinthought There is some strength in anonymity, you are right. But publicity pays better lol
