I have posted a couple of pictures from Jaipur street over the last few months. Even though I was never into street photography for the reasons I mentioned in 11 Seconds, my views seem to have changed as I went around for street life photography. I will talk about it in detail in my upcoming post.

I am sharing this picture from my street photography walk in Jaipur.
I found his expression curious. Why? Because his eyes convey anger whereas his face suggests he is astonished. What do you think?
One of the important aspects of street photography is being candid. The moment someone knows that you are clicking, the expressions change. Photographers and people have different approaches & thoughts towards street photography though.

Very well captured. His expressions says he is disgusted. His eyes kind of disapprove what he sees.

Seems like you’ve captured the expression of disgust. Almost as if he’s smelling something foul.

That’s possible, Ishita. It is a market and there are all kind of sounds and smells. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

Was he disturbed while doing something important on his phone?
Is he sitting at a roadside teastall?
Candid photography is sure interesting!

He was sitting on a footpath, Varsh. Possibly a phone call could have led to this reaction. Thanks for sharing your views 🙂

No I don’t think he is bewildered. I have felt this expression on my face many times- disgust.

Haha! Interesting. Quite possible. In market, with so many things happening, you can’t say with surety. Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation, Surabhi?

No One has covered Jaipur better than you. And it is quite clear by what newspapers are doing with your photos. Keep doing that. You have shared another great candid pic in this post and loved the way you have described his expression. I agree expression changes when someone notice that you are clicking him or her.

I feel he must have been busy with some important message on his mobile when some ruckus on street distracted him.

Thanks, Kavitha. Photoshop and me don’t gel well. Photography is about capturing what it is and not what it should be. Appreciate your comment and views.
