español term

personal

español al inglés Arte/Literatura Periodismo
Hello. I don't understand the use of the adjective "personal" in this context. The text is an editorial for a cultural magazine for a Spanish region:


"...con imágenes inusuales o insólitas de la región tomadas con otra mirada por nuestros fotógrafos más personales."

Thanks for your help :)

agree Gary Smith Lawson : Me gusta particular/singular, pero creo que esto es el sentido aquí. (Habría que leer más del texto, pero parece ser de esos en los cuales el mismo escritor lo tendría difícil de explicar ;.) El original es un poco ambiguo, vamos.)

dedicated to take pictures of people,that is, personal photos

Entiendo que el fotógrafo se salió de su línea habitual de tomar fotos de personas para tomar fotos de paisajes.

sounds like the photographers whose work gets into the National Geographic "photos of 2007" collection etc. for being really original

invididual

The word "individual" is much more faithful to the source word ("personal") than other choices (eg, "particular," "singular," "original," "exclusive," "intimate" and even "idiosyncratic") -- and it also exactly conveys the sense needed here.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Patrice : can't agree with you that this is better than the other suggestions, and it doesn't really work here

I agree with you that the other suggestions are quite good -- I just found it interesting that a word like "individual" (which is so closely related to "personal" -- ie, 'faithful') also seems to convey the sense of the source term.
