I got a question: I;ve found the same photo (probably not edited) here in your gallery [link] I like it more in it;s original state I think beause I don;t edit my photos (only if it;s really necessery like brightness)but I;d like to know how you reached that effect anyway? Oversharpenning/brightness/contrast?

Well spotted! never thought anyone bothered going that far back, especially in my gallery! the original was a scan of a print i shot some years ago, but the new version is a neg scan using some expensive kit ive borrowed and the quality is tons better. I brought out the textures with simple curves and levels adjustments on contrast etc! cheers

Why not? If someone goes throught all the other one`s gallery, then it gives him another point of view of his work. And naturaly it says something about the person and that photos aren`t so anonymous any more.

Yes. Certainly the picture tells a lot about this person, but is where the soul of the photographer is also able to draw on the spirit of the photographed.

I like that analogy. And very true! Cheers for your reply.

Is this hdr or a scan? (or neither!) Amazing how you've brought out the detail of his skin. And the focus on the eyes is textbook.
Was this just some random bloke you stopped in the street?

ah now i see! tragic genius type? my guy wouldnt take the cigs i offered for the pic, but melted boot polish and drank it to get a bed in hospital for the night! It was a real en lighting hour spent with him. the ironic thing was he came upto me and told me to cheer up!!

That's a sad but really funny story as well! i think that must be the best bit about doing that kind of photojournalism, is the interesting people you meet
