Description
That's Adi do Carmo, a street musician.
He's been all over the place and apparently
has a tune for everyone of any culture.
The day was ending, the show was over,
and a cigarette was in order.
He smiles a lot and doesn't mind the odd
paparazzi photographer stealing his soul.
A true street corner celebrity! :)
FlorianΓ³polis, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
More of mr. Adi, on Facebook
Enjoy and comment.
Feel free to critique.
Thanks for kind things.
Happy weekend

Beautiful capture. I love this kind of high contrast, draganish post-processing on portraiture. Inspiring.

Critique? OK- it's too damn good! These are still my favorite types of photos- people, faces in black and white, faces full of lives lived, the crevices of time burrowing into their skin..I love this too much. I'm faving it & kicking myself out of here, but I WILL be backΒ Β Β Β

With your permission, I would love to do a pen and ink drawing of Adi.
Proper credit would be given, of course.

I absolutely love your photography! Your texture in this picture is very well done. There is a bit of grain, but I think it works so well here

Thank you. Indeed, the noise from low light capture seemed to fit so I just left it in. I'm so glad you enjoyed my photography.

Interesting postrait... I like shots of old people.Β

Thanks Laura. He probably isn't as old as he looks... but his lifestyle takes its toll.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what I kept wondering about. Is he that old as he looks or as you mentioned it his lifestyle has taken its toll.
Then I wonder if our lifestyle is so much different respectively if we include all our excesses that make life worth living and do we then really look our age?
I couldn't help but feel some sort of envy to be able to have a few moments of "make-believe" freedom even?
A very distinct moment you captured. Beautiful.

Yes, absolutely. Thanks for asking and feel free to show the piece.

You're portraits are always so real, candid. Makes them that much better!
Great work Miguel!

Thank you. I like a shot where people relax for a bit and slip into a moment of thought. It's often very real. Mr. Adi slips into quite a few of those moments.
