Face On The Other Side Of The Wire Netting

Shot in the city of Sonargaon, Bangladesh.

A boy was standing on the other side of the wire netting. He was gazing at my SLR camera through the wire netting without saying a word. During I released the shutter, his face was frozen.

To be taken photos by a foreign stranger might make him nervous. If I could speak Bengali, I could ease his tension. Even after shooting, he put a sullen expression on his face. He didn't open his mind to me until the last moment.
