I still think the lack of people things comments are unwarranted, but here is an experiment I’ve done. I’ve taken photos already posted here, cropped the rest of the photo out and picked selected people in the photos and altered them. The sepia hides how grainy the photos are. These are not, repeat not, finished work. I just wanted to see what these people looked like close up and in their natural state, unposed and unaware they were being photographed.
Here goes with the results. Again, just throwing a couple of ideas out there. As with other photos on this thing, you gotta click on them for the full effect.
