An Old Man of Hoi An by Shirren Lim

Award Winner   |   Photo of the Day   |   May 23rd  |  0 Reviews

At Hoi-An, we met this fruit seller while we were roaming the streets of the beautiful Old Town. I asked him if I could take a photo of him. He kindly acquiesce. I love his wrinkly face and his toothy smile. It was one of my favourite encounters while exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Photo of the Day Award Category: Portrait Photography
Photograph Location: Hoi-An, Vietnam

Photographer: Shirren Lim (Jakarta, Indonesia) Registered
Born in Penang Island, Malaysia, in 1970, Shirren would find herself moving cities over the course of her life. She is now based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Shirren took up photography in 2009, as she thought it would be an interesting habit, later she discovered it as her true passion. Shirren loves portraitures best. To her, the expressions people wear are so beautiful, so telling, so uncovered in their sincerity. With her photo-taking, she tries and does justice to capture humanity in its many forms. Shirren’s work has been described as intense and earthy with her simple composition cutting to the heart of the subject matter. As a child, she had flipped through many of her father’s National Geographic magazines, but it was Steve McCurry’s 1984 “Afghan Girl” that she recall two decades later. That is what she wants to do with her life. She believes, someday, she can able to capture that one moment that could change the world. Her work has appeared in several web and printed magazines.
