one shot

'The Beggar, always present' by Lokisb

1. First of all, what's your name and where do you live?
Santiago Billy, Antigua Guatemala (Guatemala)

2. Do you remember when and where this photo was taken?
Jan 1, 2008, 4:09:38 PM, Essaouira (Morocco)

3. Did you went out shooting street that day or did you just have a camera with you by coincidence as you saw it?
I went out shooting with my dad that day (I tend to carry my camera most of the time with me specially on vacation)

4. What made you take this photo? Any story you want to tell with it?
At first I was walking then I saw the man just entering the walls of the city, so I decided to take the picture. The story behind would be that I was just looking for people to photograph and I saw this scene.

5. How did you compose it? Any post-processing?
As for the composing I just bent my knees and shot. The post processing was a greyscale conversion using adobe lightroom, I minor changed the contrasts highlights and no cropping.

6. How makes it feel you now? What do you think when you look at it? Do you still like it? Anything you think you could have done better?
It makes me feel that back-light can be so powerful. When I look at it the picture I feel is telling me to take more pictures, improve myself and don't get stagnated. Yes, I like it. While picturing street maybe just take other photographs, that's what I saw in that moment in time. So to do things better its just about moving your feet and take other pictures.

Make sure to visit his deviantART gallery as well as his website.


'One Shot' is supposed to be a new kind of series, these questions I'll ask several photographers about one particular photo in their gallery. Hope you enjoy.
