Hiding to smoke. Portrait of stranger #58

This guy had left the restaurant to smoke his sigarette hiding in the doorway. Unfortunately he was under a reddish street lamp. He was amused at the idea of posing, but was quite pessimistic about the light. It is more visible on black

the lack of light has certainly brought a lot of character into his pose. You made the circumstances work to your advantage.

Definitely a great shot view on black - the “flame” really pops

I love this, it has the colours of an old master. Well spotted and well executed.

[Tom]

Instant fav reminds me of some of the old masters

This has nearly become a crime to day in our country. Great shot never the less.

[Tunia McClure]

Very nice capture. Its not easy to be a smoker these days.

[Jane Pittenger]

This is a great shot

It makes for a very authentic image - smokers often give the impression of skulking to indulge their habit. It must make them feel a bit alienated - I think your portrait has caught this.

[Call me Joe]

Cool shot but smoking isn’t 😍

[Taffy]

Quite mysterious looking - terrific image.
