"Photographing children is totally different from photographing adults.
Children unlike adults tend to show varied expressions at the lens."
I haven't been much into taking portraits, but there are some photographs which I have taken experimenting on portraits. This is one of them. The main and only subject in this photograph is my cousin, dressed in a traditional way for his birthday celebrations. I had a very tough time capturing this. You know why?
As he was the birthday boy, everybody wanted a photo with him, everybody wanted to hold him, play with him, and they never let him alone. But I was lucky enough to find him alone amidst all that. When I popped out my camera and focused the lens at him, he gave this unusual look. Maybe he couldn't make head or tail of what I was upto. The light in the background added a special touch to the frame.
