These have beautiful color and generally good ambient light. Very Nice over all!
My only issue is that many of them have dead eye and could have benefitted from a reflector or fill light to give the eyes more life.
Every place else you did a fantastic job and congrats on the award!
Thank you so much. Yes, so many scenarios where I would like to be able to use more equipment. Unfortunately it draws too much attention and people freeze up. Would love to be able to spend more time in these neighborhoods and become a regular to make that work.
Ketang,
These are really amazing portraits! They have left me feeling so inspired for street portraiture. I love the approachable nature of them, the natural lighting and not post processed to death. Many of the subjects look comfortable to me.
Do you speak Urdu or do the locals speak some English? Or another language? I would love to visit some day.

Thank you and I'm glad they are inspiring for you. I can speak a few words of Urdu, enough to ask for permission, which is important in the places I was. For some I had my wife who is from Karachi to give more directions, but in many cases I was able to handle it on my own with my limited vocabulary and body language.
