Description

I went out walking around Rome's main train station, Termini, to hunt for photos for this assignment. On the street, in a particularly decrepit area near the station, a man was giving haircuts to Albanian immigrants. Immigrants generally object to being photographed so I hurriedly and discreetly snapped a few photos. I realize this is contrary to the recommended approach of being open and friendly, but I find Italians, in general, are paranoid about being photographed and sometimes the only way is to just snap when you can. - Camera Settings: f/4, 1/25, 80mm, ISO 400 - Adobe Lightroom: cropped, adjusted contrast & clarity, reduced color saturation, added vignetting

Exif: Exposure Time: 0.04, Flash: 0, ISO: 400, Camera Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark III

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
