1000 SMILES PROJECT 1000 smiles project
Sharp shooters.
In no time the place, (Mandai, Pune, India) was infiltrated with many lens-men warming up to the day. A camera in someone’s hand an eye contact lasting slightly longer than a second was all the introduction needed to make friends. At one point of time, I actually wished to be on the other side of the lens than behind it. Majority of the people love to be photographed if approached in a bright casual way with a warm smile. This is when the fun begins. Everyone wants the best shots and start looking for subjects. The trick not to get the same shots as the photographer standing next to you and still not irritate the subject with a lens pushed into his face. Some photographers chat with them, some try to get candid snaps by catching them unawares, some ask straight fort, some bribe..and sometimes also get shooed off.!! Its interesting how people react to their few seconds of fame.
