The picture was framed in Corbett National Park early this year. It was interesting the way i got his portrait. I was relaxing after lunch, just before my trip into the forest, when he, along with his friend came around, did some pranks and tried scaring away the tourists. I was observing them from a distance. After sometimes they came closer to me and tried the same tricks, but all the while i kept ignoring them. After 10 min or so when they felt more comfortable, they started relaxing, which is when i began to work on their portraits. |
