Do you sell something for a living? How do you sell what you sell? I noticed so many different techniques tonight. The big sellers were the products where you could see them being made, people gathered to see the process, it engaged them. The tea seller made a full blown dance production with vibrant music and a crowd. (See below) He was selling a heap of tea, its pretty hard to ignore someone who sets their product on fire. There is a traveling market set up by the river here in Chiang Rai at the moment. I love all the colours and lights and theres something interesting and raw about the people. They are accustomed to quick transactions, they meet a lot of people everyday.
Were you looking for some nunchucks or some hello kitty?
The image below is a man called Pong I met tonight. Pong is Thai and follows the markets allover the North of Thailand. He sells computer memory sticks and leather purses and a small assortment of other electrical gadgetry. He was a pretty chatty, funny guy and this is how he makes a living. This is what he sells.
This man is Burmese , he sells showrides.
This guy was buying his kid a BB Gun. The kid was pretty stoked.
Some great captures. You’ve caught the character of the subjects and the market so well. Spot on shots.
Kudos.
