Street shooting...a character study.



For me, portraiture is about the character study of the subject in question. Street shoot somehow brings the best in a character.....because there's no pre-planned poses, props or controllable lighting. A good shot brings about the character of our subject in the final output. The 'feel' as some people say.......to show sorrow, misery and hardship in a 2 dimensional art piece needs a bit more patience and understanding of our subject's character. One has to feel their sorrow to transmit that same feeling from the subject onto print.

A great image captured. The B&W conversion gave more punches to this photo. Well done.

p/s: This photo reminds me of a great photo that I stumbled upon in flickr.

Thanks zumi....I like the B&W version too....the color's version needs a bit more punch for it to stand out IMO.
