I was on a Mumbai street on a hot afternoon when I spotted this security guard with a face and expression that compelled me to ask him if I could take his photo. The man gave in after initial hesitation. He was smoking and I told him to continue while I clicked several closeups shooting with my camera tilted while on my knees. In this photo, I liked his expression looking at the camera but intoxicated by the tobacco. I converted to black/white in LR and then in Silver Efex choosing a filter that brought out the texture and some grain.
