Do you ever find it intriguing why you are drawn to certain places,object or people and just have to photograph it or them?
While hosting my 3 Mystic Mumps Digital Photography Workshop I had such a moment when I met Paul who was attending the workshop.
Paul a softly spoken man is a landscape gardener here in Somerset but it turns out he used to rub shoulders with the likes of Kylie Minogue and other mega stars of the music industry while a photographer for EMI Records in London. I’m sure he has many great tales to tell it was just a shame that the weekend was rather too busy to get chance to properly sit down and ask him about it all.
Anyway I’m still not sure why I just had to shoot him but I suspect it was something to do with character.

Cracking portrait Si, you’ve caught great character here in his expression. I love the way focus drops away with the f2.8, awesome.
