Two things make this shot, the way he's removed his glasses as though posing for a portrait and the tonality. His face looks as if it's getting some of the sun from the outside and the fluorescent lights add to the shot by featuring the man's face instead of ruining the shots (as fluorescent lights often do). It's the kind of shot that makes me wish I had more of a film background.

Thank you for commenting. The young man does like to pose.

He poses, but he does it well and you took the shot at the right moment, congrats.

Thank you for commenting and for also for your latest photos.

I love your whole series with Mohammed. He makes a great subject; he obviously knows how to behave in front of a camera and he seems to enjoy it which make these photographs so enjoyable. I love the tones in your black and whites!!!
