Street portrait

by Mag07

I'm a little scared to take portraits but could not stop myself from snapping one of this man. There was something about him; you just couldn't walk past without looking.

Nice one, is this a candid snatch shot or did he pose for you? Either way I like it.

Thank you David and Giulio and neither really, haha. Pretty sure he was aware of the attention he received as we passed by with a friend, and when I turned back to take another glance he was looking straight at me. Had the camera in my hand so thought why not. Gave him a big smile afterwards and walked away. Smiling seems to do the trick every time

That touch of sepia was most effective!
