In the Crowded Market

In the Crowded Market, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.

Markets are the perfect place to become more confident in shooting people at short distance. Usually there is a lot going on, many stalls full of items people are interested in and many distractions in which you can blend in and take candid shot. The Borough market in London, near London Bridge, is the perfect example. We were there with Jonathan Taylor during our workshop and I have to admit that it has been very educative. Many sellers behind the stalls do not mind a photo of themselves and going nearer is something you get used to.
This is not the perfect photo, there are many distractions in it, nevertheless I like it. I like it because of the movement, of the crowd you cannot simply stop, because of the big bags and the many colors, because of the shadows of an open market under a roof.
