The Passenger
Shot at the trainstation in Aarhus, Denmark in January – a train was leaving the station, and as I walked up along the carts, I noticed this guy sitting there. I moved a couple of carts ahead, put the viewfinder to my eye, waited for him to get in the picture – and snap.

What a haunting image!
And well thought out process of getting the image!!!! The movement adds that extra impact!

Classic ‘capturing of the moment’ – very inspring – plus I love trains !
markhiggins
Great shot. B&W, movement and his
expression suits the mood.
A story in a picture.
Is he a reluctant traveller?
Is he leaving someone behind?
Is he ever returning?
Lots of options.
Robert Knapman
Trains, travellers, posibilities, stories, destinations and all combined with your own little journey to capture it. Nice indeed. Cheers

Lasse Damgaard
Hey Christina : )
No I didn’t – and I couldn’t really anyway, since the train was leaving as I took the photo. It was taken in a public area – meaning that everything and everyone is free game ; )

Simon Deadman
beautiful b&w
Pete Chennell
great shot….really love this
Simon Mears
this is a really cool image, especially the way he is looking out of the window, you caught him just right. Aarhus was pretty much responsible for me getting into photography as a serious hobby, after i saw a Wim Wenders exhibition at your art centre. and what a place that is!
shawhouse
fantastic. excellent treatment. dof makes it look like it’s moving fast, emphasizing and isolating your passenger. that’s the feeling I get from this – isolation, loneliness. Your choice of monochrome amps up the mood. superb b&w.
Philip Rogan
Fucking brilliant plan well executed!
lindsaydarcy
candid composed brilliantly!
Tracey Mac
Stunning shot, awesome result! :-)

Clayton Turner
Excellent work. It takes a great eye to see what WILL be there, not just what IS there.
interferish
awesome.
Daniel Rarela
amazing shot, Lasse!! the contrast is just right, and i love how you were able to capture your subject so clearly while still capturing the movement of the train! sounds like a very tricky thing to do, especially when your subject is moving along with the train, but you’ve pulled it off wonderfully!
Kevin Kroeker
Another amazing piece!
Jean M. Laffitau
WOW! This is FANTASTIC!!!
Jhug

AdamDonnelly
Nicely done. You can’t help wondering what this guy’s thinking…what he’s left behind. I love how you’ve captured the reflection of the clock too, whether it was intentional or not it’s a very nice touch. Great image!
rumbarber
my two penneth the list of plaudits – a cracking little shot.
masterjellydude
i like the focus on him
Carl Osbourn
brilliant brilliant stuff – you were lucky he was looking at you too!
