What is unique about this location is that it can be shot at a birds-eye view. The incandescent light from the entrance/exit of the subway casts a long looming shadow of the person at the opening. Darkening the other parts of the picture in post-processing it creates an interesting ambience. The blue neon light and the yellow ground surface indicators add a color contrast making this an amazing picture.
What a lot of people miss standing in this spot to take a picture of the salaryman is to take a look over your left side. Where theres a building with a courtyard that has multiple levels. Below are the pictures you can shoot standing in the same spot as above. Two birds with one stone!
Pictures like these have a mood and a story to it. Something that a lot of street photographers look for in images. A man going back home after a long day at work. Imagining stories of how the person spent his day is the interesting part of this location. The location you stand when taking the picture becomes the angle you take your subject. Which dictates what and how you portrait your subject.
