His face seems to hold so muchh that he isn't giving away. He almost looks defiant.

Defiant but not angry, as though he's sizing you up. Nice bokeh.

Hey James, with respect i've never known a portrait shot where the subject looks so compromised within the frame. What happened?

Thank you all for your comments and feedback! This is how he revealed himself...I don't coax expressions and I don't wait for a mood that I may think is appropriate.
Best, regards
James

I'm curious though. I'm quite shy to ask a stranger to take their picture. Do most say yes? Do they ask why? Have you ever been shy about asking or do you just wait for them to turn towards you and take the pic. I know some pretend they are taking pictures of something else.

Hello Maggie
Thank you for asking! Generally I am not shy but with some cultures it is very important to get permission from the elders. I do some candid street from time to time. The odd person does not want to be photographed- but the majority don't mind. The more you engage someone the easer it is in asking. I don't like to take up too much of a person's time and I will usually take about two or three shots. Some do ask why, so I explain what I find interesting about them and assure them that they will make a great picture!
Best, regards

That is James, about the same procedure I do with people.
It is curious when people ask us to be in their own pictures because they find us... curious
(!?).
Thank you for sharing !

Hello Antonio
For sure it is but it's difficult telling them I don't like having my picture taken.
Best, regards
