The Way They Looked At You

I have often been told by people who liked my series of street photographs that, the one thing that stood out for them was the way the people looked at me, or at my camera. To be entirely honest, I have never really given that much of a thought to how people looked at me. The only tip I can give, or share, is to smile, and be nice. After all, how people looked at you is actually their spontaneous response to how you looked at them in the first place. I fully understand that this perhaps can only apply to people here in Malaysian streets. Now that I am starting to pay more attention to my street portraits, there really is something about the way people looked at me. My favourite photos that I took almost always have that bright smile and warm expression. I am drawn to those emotions somehow. Maybe there is something about me that I do not quite know!
