Location
I took this picture during a "The Golden Triangle"-trip in New Delhi (India).Time
During the rush hour, we were in a traffic jam. There where a lot of tuktuks (3-wheel local transport vehicle used as a taxi). We were surrounded with tuktuks. But there was only one tuktuk who took my attention. A completely fully loaded tuktuk. The passengers have to use all their arms to gather all the luggage.Lighting
In Asian big cities, there is a lot of pollution. Due to the polluted air, there is always a kind of veiled light.Equipment
Nikon D750 + lens 70-200mmInspiration
I like to make journalistic pictures with people as a main object. Sometimes you don't need to frame the whole person. Parts of the body (in the picture, the hands), can express sometimes more. I was a kind of surreal moment. A fully packed tuktuk with luggage and you had to look hard to find the people in the vehicle.Editing
Very frequently, I use the postprocessing software "Intensify"(https://skylum.com/nl/creativekit). I like to use more structure in the picture to accentuate the harshness of the local life. I make a copy of the layer. I adjust the "Intensify"-software on this copy. You have a lot of possibilities to use more structure. Once the adjustment is made, I decrease the transparency of this layer.In my camera bag
