Faces in Heho Market

An old man in the wet market at Inle Lake, Myanmar. I was fascinated

by his stained teeth due to chewing betelnut and leaves with

lime/calcium paste.

Your summary of the photo really helps put me in the moment. Thanks for sharing~ Iren

Hello Alec.

 

An impressive portrait where the focus on the man's mouth is perfect.

The slight fill-in flash is the topping over the cake.

 

Perfect my friend

Another perfect portrait, relaxed subject. It's amazing that he is so willing to smile so naturally ... he must have a wonderful self image! :-)

Thanks Iren, LouAnn he sure is an interesting subject - they normally oblidge once they see their picture in the LCD. Made their day as DSLR are not very common there.

 

Marco, I didn't use any flash the shine on his eyes are from ambient light in the crowded market-place. 50mm is great for rapport and close-up portraiture.

Amazing portrait Alec,wonderful happy guy.

 

Best regards Shuki
