Boy watching me

Posted by Sidonie (Sydney, Australia) on 16 February 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This boy was watching the women dress in their tent before the performance when I caught him in the act; he then turned around and settled his gaze on me.

Wonderful portrait! Such an intense gaze, so serious...with that awesome riff of orange turban!

He looks like he's just about to smile. I also like the confidence and pride communicated through this portrait. I really enjoyed this one; his personality shines.

Good shot, and I like how you continued the story line . So the young fellow is off to an early start at checking out the Ladies is he ?

great shot. nicely framed and composed. but best of all, that moment shared between you lies in his eyes and your finger on the trigger...perfectly captured.
