p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Soman


I met Soman in a remote village in Kottayam district, Kerala state, India.

I was returning from a morning walk, after taking the picture of a local temple, when I saw Soman walking on the lonely road. Wearing a dhoti, a colored shirt, and a bag on his shoulder, he was on his way to work. Years ago, he used to work for the Indian Post and Telegraph as a mail carrier. Now he works for the local government. It looked like he had a laptop in his bag, but I didn’t ask.

Soman lives nearby with his wife. His elder brother passed away a couple of years ago from cancer, and his younger brother died of some unforeseen (and unfortunate) mishap.

Thanks for looking.

I would welcome any tips you may have to improve the results in these kinds of photography opportunities.

My opinion (and I am not a pro). I think it is great that you not only got the shot but that you got to know him. On the first shot I would have tried to move him in front of a brighter part in the image to help seperate him. I might have not chopped his hands. Maybe just a little bit more light from underneath to help me see his eyes. His expression fits the mood of the lighting.
