Portraits

Yesterday I decided to do something new. I left my dorm, and started walking on the streets of New York: I noticed how unique is every person and how many people walks daily on the streets. Inspiring myself by Pietro Mattioli, who based his work on portraits I started asking people if I could take a picture of them.  Clearly, some of them freaked out but surprisingly some of them accepted with a big smile on their faces.
It was very fun, here are some of the portraits....Click on the pictures to make them bigger.

Silent noon.

I took this picture at Washington Sq. Park Yesterday. I was surprised by how this two were sitting there all the time I was around, and they barely crossed a word: just an indifferent eye contact once in a while.

 Her name is Lucy, she met him at a fast food restaurant. He ordered a burger without cheese, she ordered a burger with extra cheese. They first talked about their differences. Well, that's the story the picture told me...

I shot this casually,  in a large street in Paris a few months ago and everytime I see it, I imagine a different story for this couple.
