Portrait of a Stranger III

Description

I walked up, greeted, and asked if I could photograph him.
He asked why while half-laughing.
"I think you look interesting", I replied with a smile.

He happily agreed to it.
Almost immediately, I was asked if I wanted to become a photographer, which I answered "of course" to.
Then the man told me he also photographs.

Four pictures later he thought it was enough, I thanked him and asked for his name.
Because he spoke with an accent, I am not quite sure if I understood his name correctly.
But I think it was Sammi.
He wished me a happy Easter, I thanked him and then moved on.

Very nice - I think I know where you might have been inspired to start a portrait of a stranger series ;]

I'm also inspired to do it -but I'm not confident enough in my skills yet.

One thing I don't like about this photograph is how over exposed his shoulder is due to the fact his hoodie is white. I also think you would have been better off positioning yourself so your subject was not squinting into the sun.

But otherwise, you picked a good subject - his face certainly is interesting!
