Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm

I have been obsessed with taking photos of strangers ever since my exchange in US. I wanted to set an interesting challenge for myself for the last project, taking pictures of them on the but (without being noticed of course). The shooting was not easy. I couldn’t always choose the position to shoot on the bus. The subjects were not always at the right angle for shooting. And the lighting and posing…were all harder to control. Not to mention I had to do that secretly.

I found the poles on the bus sometimes create an interesting composition in the photo. Also, considering the number of photos I successfully took, I felt how indifferent people were when on taking the bus. Lastly, this series didn’t come out perfect because of several uncontrollable factors mentioned earlier. So I turned the photos into black and white to cover some flaws. But it was a unique experience to complete this project.
