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.

Classic ‘capturing of the moment’ – very inspring – plus I love trains !
Mark Higgins, about 1 year ago
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, about 1 year ago
Trains, travellers, posibilities, stories, destinations and all combined with your own little journey to capture it. Nice indeed. Cheers

Great picture. I was just wondering did you have to get him to sign something for you to be able to use this picture?
Lasse Damgaard, about 1 year ago
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 ; )

Pete Chennell, about 1 year ago
great shot….really love this
Simon Mears, 11 months ago
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, 11 months ago
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.

Daniel Rarela, 7 months ago
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!

AdamDonnelly, 5 months ago
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!

Wow – you are such an incredible photographer.
A pure amateur myself one thing i know that it’s all about timing. You seem to have the knack of being in the right places at the right time… and knowing exactly what to do with those moments.
This shot is so incredible! Well done!!!!
