Before Jason and I photographed the two women I posted last week, we also spent some time photographing these guys. And on this occasion I definitely prefer Jason's version to mine:

Skull & Fox (or pig ?) don't know

Those hands tatoo are baby's hands !?

paflechien: I think it's a fox, but it does seem to have a pig's snout. As for the hands: I hadn't thought about it, but you're probably right - I wish I'd asked him now.

I think Jasons does have a bit more life in it... just the slight bit of movement has given the shot some action

Garry: yep, I quite agree.

"... I wish I'd asked him now." Here in germany it's impossible show streetphotography or portrait shoots without a signed model release! (Cruel law and order ... ) That's why I always give a business card away, don't you?

Nicki: yes, I often give business cards to the people I photograph, but didn't on this occasion. As for the law in the UK: it may change at some point soon, but for the time being at least it's still legal to photograph people without needing a model release. If I wanted to sell the image, I'd definitely need one, but for editorial use such as this it's not a problem.

Yes, there's a bit more story in Jason's shot.
Excellent B/W conversion. Love how their backs pop out of the scene.

Has the guy on the right dropped his phone in the water or is it in his hand?

comment by djn1 at 05:28 AM (GMT) on 28 April, 2010

Navin: I wondered about that too, but would guess that he's holding it in this shot.

Good use of the DOF and spot on b/w conversion. Nice job!
