The Hidden Merchant

San Salvador, El Salvador. Downtown.

People really do sell electronics everywhere in San Salvador, even in a back-alley like this. Everyone's trying their best to make a living, and selling cheap electronics is just how the people of San Salvador have adapted to the coming future. I think it's not far that we'll see some people buying even stuff like Smartwatches in back-alleys here.

Doing this shoot I found out that back-alleys have their own way how to make the shoot and how to do the post. I think keeping the contrast up is a priority, as it brings out a lot of details, so when I took the shot, I slightly underexposed it, since the day was very bright.
