Unplanned portraits

There is something captivating about chance meetings and speculating what might happen.

I feel inspired by faces in the crowd but walking up to a complete stranger and asking whether I may photograph them feels awkward. Then there are the strangers, who, through random acts of communication, cease to be strangers and become people that I have met.

This is how the portrait of Herwig in his fine food shop in Steyr, Austria, came into existence. Following on from my portraits of a watchmaker, this is another example of unplanned photography, which I created using only available light.
