p.1 #1 · Faces of Varanasi, Part 1 (Color)

I think I like color versions better than the B&W ones. They are more lively.

Apparently one of the people below is a pickpocket. I am surprised that he actually let me take a picture of him.

I like the color portraits, but prefer the black and whites. Personal preference. All are great, really.

Thanks a bunch, Chris. I think they both have merits, but I am now leaning towards the B&W ones as well.

I also much prefer the color ones. Great shots as usual.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the person you mentioned is 3. He looks a little suspicious...

Daniel, I think I read somewhere that color emphasizes beauty, whereas B&W reflects truth. I am not sure where I read that.

You are right about the person in question. I preferred having him in front of me, rather than behind.

I think these portraits are beautiful and also convey the truth. Really excellent work!

Thank you, Daniel. It was fun just taking shots of people on the street. They are a great reflection of the city itself.

Great photos Charles! Agree that the color ones are much better.
I guess, the third one is the pickpocket?

Thanks, Sreedhar. Yes, it was the third one. It was better to have him in front of the camera than behind.
