Waiting for the ride. (monochrome)

Waiting for the ride. (monochrome)

I clicked this photo when i was strolling around with a friend near talegaon station. my expedition had came to an almost end and it was a little tiring but very exiting morning for both of us. thats when i happened to spot him lost deep in his thoughts, waiting for a train ride, or may be already riding his last journey in his mind. The idea was to get as candid snap as possible but not without his permission. hence i called him and just as he turned, before his mind could put up a plastic face, i captured the shot.

The most challenging thought that came to my mind when shooting this portrait was the absence of eyes in the photograph.

a portrait lives by its eyes. thats what most of the time makes or breaks a portrait photo. hence, here i have tried to do full justice to the remaining features of the gentleman to keep the intrestingness alive.

i hope it turns out to better than my previous attempts.

Me and my friends were fooling around in front of my camera when this bunch of kids happen to collect around us and were watching intently.I always wonder how a camera can help connect strangers so fast and strongly.a little eye contact and there you have the permission to capture the moment in time, and let the story freeze before you forever.

The front guy was a little stubborn though. Hence i thought insisting him for a photograph would be good, for his hesitant smile is what makes it work for me in this photo.Also the shy kids in the backdrop and my friend with a vibrant smile complete the palette..
