Often, when I photograph people I know what the situation is and my comments relate to that situation. However, being real street candids my photographs capture people as they are without any real context. Take this couple for example. They are having an expressive conversation. I have called this photo “I’m not sure” as the gestures seem to indicate a decision and indecision. What do you think they were talking about?
I have noticed this Asian couple just few minutes before I took this photograph. It was hard not to notice the tall girl in her bright orange dress and pearl white skin. After all this is autumn and most people wear subdued dark coloured clothing.
As they were approaching Town Hall building the man seemed to forget his partner and rushed a bit ahead thus leaving her exposed to the rain. She obviously was not impressed.
They both had biggest laugh when I have shown them the photograph. It is good to come across people who despite the lousy weather can find humour in their own situation.
