Response: Subway Portraits by Evans

Its funny to see how time can pass but the riders still act the same. Riding the trains for a long period of time can be awkward because there really isn’t anything to look at. I usually just stare at the floor to avoid any kind of weird eye contact. iPads are also a good help nowadays.

Evan’s approach was very clever. Keeping is camera hidden was a good way to capture people in their normal state. Had he kept his camera out in the open, his photographs would not have the same feel. When I looked through some of the images in the gallery, I did notice many similarities. Some people were sleeping, others had a blank stare. I also saw an image of one man with an accordion which still happens today.
