I went to the market to shoot my environmental portrait photos. I really like this photo because the old man is sitting on his bike, looking like he's waiting for something. He is really laid-back and relaxed, not caring about what others think of him. It's environmental because you can see that he is sitting in his bike carriage, in his market.
This photo was shot at the front of the market. The man was very cheerful, and about to sell potatoes to one of his customers. I asked him if I could photograph him, and he willfully agreed. He was laughing, because I wanted to a snap a photo of him, and I took it at just the right moment. This is an envionrmental portait, as you can see all of his potatoes and selling materials around him at his stall.
When we got into the market, we approached the (smelly) seafood section, and into the sweet, fragrant fruit area. This man was selling mangos (I'll admit, they were delicious!) and agreed for me to take a portrait shot of him. In my opinion, portrait shots do not really take my interest, but this photo is interesting because the blur in the back really brings out the man's face.
This photo was not taken at the market. I was strolling around in KLCC Park with my friend, looking for a place to chill out. I asked her if I could take a portrait shot of her for my assignment, and here she is smiling for the camera. I tried to dodge her eyes as they were a bit dark, but the result was her eyes looking extremely foggy and veiled, so I decided to leave the photo without any dodging.
