Going to the public market to take photographs is content I had always wanted to create. I know there are many stories to uncover in this place, and the fact that I dared to take these photographs means a lot to me!

Since it is such a busy place, street vendors also come to try to earn some money for their homes.

And sometimes you even see strange things like this:

You can also see many cats, they are the ones who keep the market free of pests!

The following cat was a little annoyed and even stuck its tongue out at me:

I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera and a 50mm lens.
I hope you found these photographs as interesting as I did. I plan to go back soon to take more photographs there; I feel it's a place with a lot of potential to explore!
I enjoy your enthusiasm and joy for photography. I feel very much the same. I think what would help elevate your work is improving at your curation.
what's your advice to improve it?
I've been wanting to maybe start a photo editing group of some kind. We would do a couple of things: 1) someone from the group would provide a RAW file of a photograph, and then the group would go and edit the photo, come back, and then we would all discuss our edits and what we like / dislike about each. and 2) we could have meetups where we can all help each other curate or select the strongest of images from a members collection of photographs. It helps to have more than one mind on a selection. It can be a fun and eye opening process. Perhaps you would be interested in this. I run NOICE Magazine, and I have done dozens of portfolio reviews for photographers and each one has had nothing but positive things to say:
