Street portraiture: Street portraits are a great play of hide and seek. On one hand, the photographer must seek or should seek permission, on the other hand asking for permission is an open invitation to posing and the expression of the person changes. So what to do? I personally opt for communication through body language. Talking with my eyes and gesture is more subtle and transparent. Sometimes, words are not our friends. Talking through gestures also generates trust between the photographer and the person being photographed. Well, scientifically speaking, the major part of human communication is through body language. Therefore, it helps build a quick bond with strangers in the street. This bond leads to acknowledgment of each other's existence and the camera in between, yet it doesn't end up in a direct conversation changing the dynamics of the street. This means the photographer remains a fly on the wall but is accepted by the people in the room. In this case, the room is the street. It can be a wonderful situation for the photographer because people who don't want their photo being taken can directly express it, and other silently give consent without showing much interest or changes in expressions. Of course, a photographer must understand their limits and modify this approach according to the circumstances and culture of the place. But this can only be learned through trial and error approach. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #worker #man #masculineenergy #masculinity #devineenergy #hardwork #divinemasculine #divine #streetwork #construction #manpower #equality #streetphotography #streetphotosworldwide #streetphotography #streetportraits #indiaphotosociety #fstop #streetphotosclassic #streetsofindia #indianphotojournalist #photographerindia #photooftheday #portraitphotography #portrait #portraitstream #portraitart #portraits_ig #portraitsociety #photographerstofollow (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIMBSosiFU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
