The idea is of a man suddenly made homeless with a few meagre possessions in a bag and a train ticket to who knows where. My friend Keith who has modelled for me many times did a great job of posing an expression to reflect this.
Here's another shot from the day.
I considered using this shot for the contest but I feel Keith's expression on the chosen shot reflects the emotion of sadness and dejection a little better.
bouth photos are great. your friend did a great job and you did to. and really nice black and white.
Thanks, I think the cold grey day helps the mood too. Usually I don't like to go out on such days as they feel so uninspiring. Maybe it's a case of finding a subject that suits?
grey days are great for soft light but they are not for everything, here it looks great.
did you mix the background on the second shot? it looks like train is moving and standing? :)
The train is moving, I waited for it to solve the issue of a distracting background and I like the effect.
Hi There neighbour from across the See, I love this man its like he talking to me great shot
Gr britt
richee how is steemit life going and the blogging, not hitting a block just yet i hope?
A little bit maybe. I'm having a rest from photography and slowing down on Steemit until after the Christmas period. I'll see how I feel once the new year gets going, but I don't think I'll be posting as regularly as I was, but thanks for asking.
Thats a pity
Great shots @richee
The expression in the first photo shows the situation perfectly, great model job!
