Street Portraits of People I Don’t Know – Colin Shafer

A while back we featured Colin Shafer and some of his photography work about Filipino youth. Here’s another one of his projects entitled ‘People I Don’t Know’ which are street portraits of interesting people that Colin has met in his travels who wanted their picture taken. Just enjoy these photos below.



An elder (I could have sworn he said 90) from Melacca, Malaysia who has been running this family barber shop his whole life. The shop was passed down to him from his father.






































This woman was smoking a corn husk fatty, and quite proud of it. This market in Bagan, Burma would not have been the same without her. Betel stained teeth, and the traditional Thanaka face make-up.



This gentleman was running a small shop in Thiruvananthapuram, India.









































This man was sitting enjoying a smoke in a small Kampung in Jakarta, Indonesia.


A homeless man in Shibuya square, Tokyo. Full of energy and life, yet struggling to get by.


This gentleman was relaxing beside the water in Manila,Philippines. He seems to have had a hard life, and I am guessing he sleeps many nights on that very bench.








































This is Foong. He had a frame store in Melacca, Malaysia. Really nice guy who loved posing.



A gentleman who reminded me of Edward Scissorhands for some reason at a shop in Burma.
