Freedom From Hunger works with many local partners around the world to help provide loans to folks who don’t have access to credit. Perhaps you’re wondering what a typical meeting looks like, and how I photograph them.
I usually start with an “establishing shot” while walking to the meeting in order to provide viewers with a sense of place.
The meetings usually take place in fairly confined settings, so my 16-35mm f2.8 is quiet useful for capturing the over-all scene.
Local currency is key to identifying in which country the meeting is occurring in, so, in this case I made a close up of the Indian Rupees being used. With the wide lens, I was able to also include some of the group in the background.
Waiting for just the right facial expression is important. In this case I wanted to show the idea of “deep in thought”.
Again, waiting for just the right facial expression, this time I wanted to capture a smile
Outstanding my friend.
thank s Karl, last one is really cool, wish you would have taken face in this… if I m correct light was just right on his face.
Hi Pawan, thanks for the comment…..yes, I wish I had been in a position in front of him when I saw it because the light was perfect. Cheers, Karl

Karl – I have just now belatedly visited this site, and as always, am breathless. Thank you for your fabulous way of capturing humanity at its best.
