drug dealer in the park 'night - monomad photography

almost 2 years ago

I couldn't sleep at night.
I can't sleep much. I don't know if it's because of work pressure or daily stress, but whatever it is, it's hard for me to sleep at night. That's why I did what I did, I left the house spontaneously and without any plans last night and went to the park near the house by car.

I saw one of my fellow citizens there who had a Louis Vuitton bag with him. He was wearing an interesting style. I went close and we talked a little.
He said that the normal building does not make him sleep at night and because of his previous shift as a guard, this happened and he goes out.

I told him that if anyone tells you with his own style to see these medicines, that he is sitting day and night with a mysterious bag, I told him what do you think of a photoshoot, I have my camera in the car with me and we don't need to go with the camera. Let's go, he also said it's not a bad idea, in short I told him let's take pictures that show more that we are in the park and more than anything to convey to the audience the feeling that we are capturing a problem.

I brought the camera and with the help of the King Power light, which is a pocket light, I lit my model and started to pose her, we took our photos next to a bucket.
The poses were usually somewhat improvised and I suggested anything that I thought would be better. He had a pair of sunglasses in his bag, which I told him is better to put on your face and not think about the day and night, because there is a lot of positive vibe and energy in this photography. I told him that one day the whole world will see our photos

I didn't talk much about gestures in this blog. you know what ...
I have a lot to say these days and I really don't know where to put them. That's why I don't sleep at night. Some places are complicated for me. Even now, when I want to talk about it, I can't. I just hope they are all well and I have always said and I will say again, art is born of human pain. And I always did my best in my worst mood.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found it cool that I approached this person for a shoot. It's always amazing to see how people can surprise us with their openness and willingness to collaborate. I believe that every interaction has the potential to shape our view of humanity, and it's heartwarming to know that I played a small part in shaping yours in a positive way. Your appreciation means a lot, and I'll continue striving to spread positivity through my work. Thanks again! 😊

MAAAAAAAN!!! I got chills reading this - you’re perspective really resonates with my take on the world I guess. People are SO MUCH COOLER than the so-called civilized world seems to want us to believe. I’ve walked through Jamaica Queens, Harlem, greater Brooklyn, all over Baltimore, Washington DC…all kinds of supposed “bad places…” and I’ve met nothing but beautiful humans.
…yes, I’ve also been hurt, robbed and pushed around some, but it’s not the norm, anywhere. I love your courageous approach or, if you’re like me as I suspect, your approach has nothing to do with courage and everything with a vulnerable trust in humanity…in other words, it’s works like this that bring us all closer to what we were born to be. You’re certainly welcome, but in truth I’m grateful for your contribution and I just like your work :)
