Precision work

Posted by Nicholas (Shah Alam, Malaysia) on 9 October 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

A guy working on making jewelry for sale in the handicraft factory. I am impressed by their skills and I am certain they learned it extremely fast to make sure they can earn a living. Taken with Nikon D40 and 105mm.

this is a very interesting series, Nicholas. The images are very captivating. So if I understand correctly, you were actually inside this factory and allowed to take pictures ? Normally any business wouldn't allow such a free access.
Great job documenting hard and real life.

cheers

@Roman: It was a factory/ handicraft store. I wasn't allowed to take shots of the finished products but they gave me the liberty to take shots of the people there. I asked my tour guide and he said sure thing. And all the while I was shooting, I wasn't sneaking a shot and no one stopped me. :)
