This old gentleman was watching a game of lawn bowls in Queen’s Park, Loughborough, while sitting in a wheelchair. The liver-spotted hand and wristwatch were too hard to resist, so I fired off a couple of shots without him realising I was there.
Duplicated and high passed, flattened and converted to black and white, levels and contrast adjustment.
Canon EOS 20D / Canon USM 28mm-105mm lens.

I’ve been taking photographs since 1997 and I still love it. After a brief dislike of photomanipulation I now use Photoshop extensively on a majority of my work. People are my favourite subject and I’m always on the look out for new models, so drop me a line if you’re interested! :)
