Getting Ready to Cross The Road Over by Hirotoshi Takano

As my regular routine, on this shooting day, I went to Shibuya Center Street in Shibuya, Tokyo. At the near end of crosswalk just before getting to the street, I noticed the guy tieing his shoe lace in a hurry. Thought he's a very attractive motif, though, I wondered if I should shoot from his front side or not. Then I chose to shoot him from his back side, as there would be an empty space of people in front of him in the moment of traffic light was turning to red.

Portrait by Jabbar Jamil

This portrait was taken on our one of the family weddings, he's my father's cousin and he seems to have an interesting face, perfect for the portrait. I visualized the scene in black and white, and got the idea of light and dark parts in the background.
