As a thoughtful person who battles with social tension, snapping a picture of an outsider used to be what I would call a bad dream! Road photography has generally been one of my interests, yet it’s required me a long investment to summon the nerve to move toward somebody for a representation.

After some time, I’ve discovered that my camera can truth be told be a tremendous icebreaker. I never know how somebody will answer a picture demand – yet multiple times out of 10, I’m met with a gleaming grin and a warm ‘yes’. Presently, I generally ask authorization prior to snapping a picture and show my subject the final product on my advanced camera.

The greatest push I got to begin exploring different avenues regarding representation photography came when I was living in Southeast Asia. I recollect one morning when I was shooting a wet market in Kampong Cham in Cambodia. I was prowling in the shadows (as I frequently did), attempting to snap an image of a lady whose face was decisively lit by the neon market lights. She spotted me, and motioned for me to come over – briefly I really thought she planned to reprimand me! All things being equal, she pointed at my camera and requested to see the photographs. Together, we set up an impeccably outlined picture. Two of her companions needed to get in on the activity and following a couple of moments, I had a line of individuals hanging tight for a photograph.
