Construction Site Portraiture

By Michael Yip | May, 29, 2009 | 6 comments

I had a chance to go into a construction site to take some shots, mostly of the construction that is going on there as I like to capture images of people doing their respective activities. Humans are just curious about things around them and how things were build and so forth. I’m one of those people that’s always curious.

Here’s some portraits of the construction workers that allowed me to take photos of them while they worked.



Feel free to comment on the photos. The rest is here on Flickr.

    good pics.. i like these pics more compared to the models n scene setups u take.. i dunno.. maybe becausee this pics feels very REAL n natural, nt forced kinda feel.. it also conveys alot of message through their body languange like hard work, difficulty etc..

    @KY: the thing is, the only thing that went through the photoshop with these sets was the watermark and resizing. What I did was I took the photo in RAW, send it into Photomatix, a couple of clicks here and there then pump it out again and watermark. That’s all :D

    @Fumoffu: Thanks :D WAH! Maybe if your family wants someone to come and do some “profile shooting” of your family’s business, can let me know :D I charge cheap cheap
