Andy is a hardworking mechanic quite often working into the early hours of the morning. The first time i met him, through his lovely wife Amanda, i knew i had to photograph him as he had such a perfect face for B&W work. It was fun working with him and thank him for being such a good sport!! :0)
Canon Eos 400D 18-55mm ISO 400 1/10 f/5.6 RAW converted to B&W some dodging & burning.
