This is Taglou. I spotted him on the sidewalk along Lillsjövägen in Jordbro a few days ago. He was on hos way to work at Dagab, the big logistics company, but had time to pose for a few portraits. He lives at Hässelby in Stockholm, so he has to commute with the train every day. I figured Taglou for someone who loved hip-hop and he told he was. But he also listens to reggae and R&B . The Jordbro industrial area is filled to capacity and there are a few hundred companies here. You will find both smaller work places with only a few employees to the large corporations like Dagab and Coca-Cola.

ReplyDeleteportrait succeeds and it makes nice meetings
Love this portrait. Love this project.
ReplyDeleteFabulous portrait.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine looking young man!
ReplyDeleteFrom Spånga to Jordbro, that's quite a bit of commuting. Well, he won't have to change trains at least. Having a job is a good thing, especially for a youngster these days.
ReplyDeleteCool shot, his smile is so nice.
ReplyDeleteNice guy, I feel lucky to walk to work.
ReplyDeleteNice portrait of someone who appears to be a nice human being...love the smile...infectious. I smiled right back at him!
ReplyDeleteI whole heartedly agree with the others. A handsome young man with a sincere smile. Good job. More of us should take on this project. You have met some interesting and wonderful people.
ReplyDeleteI think you all should shoot more street portraits. Because you never know who you might end up talking to. I will give you an example. One of my bikes broke down yesterday. As I couldn't fix it so I parked it at a bus stop. The next bus was two hours away so I started the long walk home. A few kilometres later I made a pit stop to get some water at Ann-Charlotte's place ( a woman I have met twice and photographed). Insted of the water I was served a sandwich, coffee and cake in her garden, she was with a friend and we had a pleasant conversation. And to top this Ann-Charlotte offered to drive me and the bike home. Which she did.
ReplyDeleteYour portraits are stunning. You have a way of making your subjects relax. This is superb. What a nice guy this is.
