Description
I used to meet Mick, the baron of Brick Lane almost every time I walked down the lane. Born and brought up in Hackney in 1940s and lived around East End for most of his life. Mick was probably the most charismatic character you could meet there and one of the last true Cockneys around. I started photographing him in 2011 and it was an on-going personal project. Mick passed away on 29th September 2017 after a long fight with cancer. He would have celebrated his 72nd birthday on 9th November. Rest in peace mate, you will be missed.© noah samuel mosko

great composition despite your model sitting in the center of the image, the utilization of different backgrounds incl. what looks like a poster, advertising make it interesting to look at.
his position removes him from the sharp and harsh transitioning background.
I also like the way you utilized the natural light, chose black and white film to shoot to highlight different textures of model and his surrounding environment. I am like others most interested to see how this series will progress and I am happy for you to see you found an opportunity to have an ongoing project to document and show changes in life.
Great job!

Hi Markus
first of all thank you so much for your kind words. It is always very pleasant to read or hear a critique from a fellow photographer
I'm kind of curious myself how does this project continues. This portrait was the first posed photograph of him from the series and i'm not quite sure if i want to continue this way or go back to a un-posed shots which i like a bit more i guess
thank you again, your words are massively appreciated

I see a moment to ask myself what the world looks like through his eyes and to see and experience what he sees for just that second of eternity. It is a fascinating shot.
