55/100 Michael - a photo on Flickriver

55/100 Michael

I had arranged to meet a guy for a portrait session but he was delayed so I was hanging out on the street waiting when I spotted Michael walking towards me listening to his music pushing a small boy in pushchair. I was drawn to his style, gold chains and the bright red Beats (not for the first time in my Stranger portrait journey) so I jumped in to say hello and see if he had time to stop for a chat.

Michael was totally up for a few images, he pulled a few pose by a reasonably plain wall of a shop that I blew out with some directional light.

Although he enjoyed the shots he was saying that he wished he had his hair done and would have like to have some portraits done when he was ready some time. He was working in some music and media production so I grabbed his email address to try to find out more later.

I got the feeling we could have shot some more images but it wasn't long before my arranged appointment arrived so we had to cut it short. I gave him directions to the bus station as he was headed to the neighbouring city to drop his son off and I went off to my shoot.
