Warung Patron


Warung Patron, originally uploaded by timekin.

I was awaiting dinner at a small warung (food stall) in Garut,
Indonesia, a hot springs "resort" in Java, when a group of boisterous
women came in. Excited by the prospect of a photo, 3 of the women
begged for a photo. Since I had my 105mm fixed focal length attached
I couldn't really get a group photo, so instead I took this photo of
the woman closest to me, who only reluctantly agreed after her friends
convinced her. I used a high shutter speed and off camera flash to
get a more dramatic lighting effect.

An absolutely stunning portait. I like the look on her face.
