Stranger 81/100 'Daniel' - a photo on Flickriver

Posed street portrait taken for my 100 Strangers project in Glasgow, Scotland.

This picture is #81 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

I attempted to capture a candid shot of Daniel but he posed for the shot as I went to take it and laughed afterwards, I showed him the shot and asked if he wanted a proper portrait to go away with and he was happy to oblige. We relocated to this doorway just a short distance away and I tried to ask Daniel to remove his cap as the shadow over his eyes was too strong but he wouldn't take it off. The best I could manage was him raising his cap and chin enough for this shot. I was also trying to get him to look away from the sunlight, to avoid any squinting, yet still keeping the strong light on his face, as you can see from the shadow. That didn't really work either as Daniel decided where to look for the shot.

My inability to coach the pose aside, I still love the resulting shot and the attitude is portrays. Daniel, originally from Africa and a Muslim, now lives and works in Glasgow and has converted to Christianity. He was on his way to work in a bar in town. I have sent the shot over and hope that he likes the shot. I love the attitude in this despite the harsh light. Enjoy!
