Unknown #2

This guy was handing out flyers for Chalk4Peace in Camden at the weekend. I used the universal "hold up camera and raise eyebrow" gesture to seek permission and he nodded back.

I always like your people shots J. Nice capture.

Me too Jamey...this is good. Let's go shooting one more time, Camden Town?

Jamey, Tue 12th Sep, 2006, 6:29pm
Jide - definitely. I'm off on holiday again next week but I'll be in touch afterwards to organise something.

Lovely, I love the detail :D Nice one, I have to try something like this at some point

Good portrait shot Jamey mate, but I would have cloned out that annoying hair right in between his eyes at the top of his nose :)

Another nice portrait from you - well done.

Jamey, Tue 12th Sep, 2006, 8:59pm
If it was a portrait of a girl who was a paying client I'd probably do some beauty retouching but a street portrait of an old man doesn't really need that kind of stuff IMO.

Excellent framing and I feel somehow that he's a fairly fluffy type of guy just by looking at the photo so it's successful as a portrait. I like the "big unruly hair". I'm getting those...oh yes.

Jamey, Tue 12th Sep, 2006, 10:55pm
Yeah, he was pretty friendly. Well, he seemed it.

Very sweet! Looks like a kind soul.

Yup, great portrait. Would be nice to see it in black & white and facial texture brought out more

He certainly looks like a happy soul. Nice capture mate.

Your portraits always look so natural even though they are posed for and he looks very comfortable with you taking his photo. I also find that hair inbetween his eyes distracting but I agree with your point also. There are a few distractions in the background that maybe could be dealt with. Overall you have given a lot of life to this image and I personally would be very happy with the outcome. Good'n.
