'Farmer'

Not more than a minute after shooting the second portrait in the series (the 'Mallwalker'), I saw this guy coming up the escalator, and as ~SkipMurphy went into The Pottery Barn, I began my hunt for another portrait. I quickly cornered him and popped the question, and after a couple of weird looks after I told him, the reason I wanted his portrait, was because he had an 'interesting face' (which I genuinely mean as a compliment), he agreed. And this is the result.

And about the name 'Farmer': In my eyes, he looks like a stereotypical farmer. But that might just be me :lmao:

Wow I really like the lighting in this one, and the reflection in his glasses

Amazing work - the whole series!

I wish I had the courage to do this - to ask to take peoples' photos. I'm too godamned shy!
This one doesn't grab me as much as the others, although the blown out background does work.
I just find it a bit off-putting that I can't see his eye on (my) right. But it does work.
you really are quite an amazing talent!

I really like this photo. Everything about it.

But i'd have to say it looks slightly overexposed...

...belonging neither quite to the living nor entirely to the dead, he slowly faded, each moment a little less visible, less able to make himself heard above the world's noise, a kind of drowning in air.

i love how you got his right eye to look so bright. are you using a flash on any of these? and what kind of lens are you using?

It's called 'high-key' ;P

And thank you :giggle:

Yeah, I know, the damn reflection was in the way :hmm:

And hey, I myself am ridiculously shy. Being foreign helps a LOT though. Wherever you're from, try speaking with an accent and pretend you're from somewhere else - it helps a lot! Trust me : )

And thank you :)
