Memoirs and musings of Darius Bashar. Toronto portrait photographer and writer, in pursuit of all things real, raw and intimate. 

Parco

 

This is Parco. The moment he saw my camera, he seized the opportunity and asked if I could take his photo.

Since I started this project weeks ago, he’s the first person to jump out and ask me to take his photo first. I didn’t even have the chance to approach him.

Yes, it was startling. But it was also refreshing.

This dude has a smile that could light up any room, but he was convinced he “sucks at photos” (his words).

In fact, 98% of people I work with are convinced of this. This is based on having taken over 700,000 photos of humans.

Why do you think most people believe they are not photogenic?

I’m curious what you all think.

Big love,

D
