Portraits Of An Old Man

There he sat, on an old dusty sofa on the sidewalk in front of an old pawn shop. Sitting there, just watching the world. I’m happy I met him.

South African Street Portrait

Aaaarrrghh, Ok so take two of my blog post because the little internet decided to delete my last post as I was finishing it.

Ok so lets start again. It's been a while since my last post. Life has been crazy busy with shooting and general life stuff. I also spent 3 weeks in South Africa on holiday and managed to organise a couple of shoots while I was there. I think most of my holiday snaps I will post on Instagram so look out for them. 

I was cruising around Johannesburg looking for old 35mm cameras in old junk shops when I noticed this guy just hanging around outside one of them. I was immediately interested by his face and knew that I had to shoot his portrait. After talking for a while he agreed and we just carried on talking about life in general while I snapped away. Turns out he regularly goes to the local gym to lift weights with his daughter and on the day I saw him, he was just killing time waiting for her. Really nice guy and I was happy to have met him.

The black and white shots were down when I found myself on a construction site. I would have loved to spend a bit more time there shooting close up portraits of the workers but I wasn't able to that day, maybe next time.

Anyway, everyone meet Vic.


Old Fashioned Mo's

Sometime in October, probably over a few Old Fashions, someone came up with the idea to support the Movember cause. For those of you who don't know it's to raise awareness of prostate cancer by growing a moustache for the month of November. Some of us were more successful than others but a laugh was had by all and of course a photo shoot ensued at the end of it to commemorate this historic time. 

Well done lads, and better luck next year to those of us that needed more than 1 month to grow a decent mo.
