Man Reading


JAN 22nd 12:45PM - Kodak Color Film, ISO 200, Shutter Speed: 3 seconds


It’s not like I’m stealing their soul…

Taking pictures of people in public without their knowledge/consent has always made me feel uncomfortable. I think I’ve missed out on an innumerable amount of touching images because of my apprehension. I’m going to make a conscious effort to get over this. I find the most reward in capturing candid portraits because emotions caught in the moment are so powerfully revealing. When someone looks at my photographs I don’t want them to just be appreciative of the aesthetics. I want there to be a sense of connection or interaction between the viewer and the image.
