The Funky Porter, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

The Funky Porter : This is an old photograph taken last year in the Burra Bazar area of Calcutta.The guy looked disturbed for some reason as he was sitting bare chest on the pavement with his slippers lying in front of him.I am still not able to get a lot of time to shoot,but will certainly try to upload as many images as I can.Have a nice time.

Hello, Farhat!

That's a very nice daily life scene, captured with excellent quality! Colors and sharpness are perfect! The old aspect of the wall and his clothes makes the image very interesting! Beautiful job!

Hello Farhat,
You have been absent a long time so welcome back. I didn't quite expect to see you around again. If this man was slightly disturbed he may not have understood what you were doing, or maybe didn't even notice you. That gave you time to take a good photo in an environment that reminds me of what I saw in Calcutta more than 40 years ago. The colours are fine and you handled the light perfectly.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Farhat,
A good timing when taken this picture, the porter seem to take a rest from a hard day's work. Yes, he was a bit distress, maybe not earn enough on that day, and worried about livelihood.
Nice to see you are back positing on TE.
Ike

Hello Farhat,
welcome back! You found a very interesting character in the Burra Bazar area, his expression is eye-catching and mysterious, somehow contrasting his relaxed posture and it could mean a lot of different things. I would have selected a tighter crop at the top but the element at the top may be useful for context definition. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hello Farhat.

Nice to see you again and with the promise to post some pictures. The guy looks very poor but handsome and proud. Interesting what he has on hands. Nice colourful wall as the background.

Hello Farhat
Whatever could be the reason why he's seated in such a casual way, his complexion and posture compose an pleasant natural portrait, quite different of those 'posed' shots!
Good to hear from you! Robert
