This is my first attempt at the genre of Street Photography, so I'm not claiming any special skills in this field. I wanted to develop a theme in the genre as a project, and picked commuters as a group that most of us can relate to.

 

I found taking the shots a huge challenge - they are all candid and it's hard to be anonymous in public places. There is also the risk of being stopped by officials in these places. Finally, lighting is a big constraint and flash is not possible, so the challenge of noise and slow shutter speeds is ever visible.

 

This long exposure caught nearly everyone moving except the woman who was my focal point, who appears frozen.
