There isn't much I can tell you about this one, other than that this wonderfully photogenic guy was one of the guests at the wedding I shot on Friday. Some people were born to be photographed :)

It's incredible how sinister the conversion makes him look... in colour he looks like he's about to smile, but the b+w makes him look like one of the Krays!
Great detail in the shot

yeah the conversion definitely makes the shot for me. those eyes are so incredibly powerful too. everything is so crisp. dope shot.

Love the shot, and I agree, the treatment makes it. One thought: I think that if this were a shot of me, I'd like it less. The face looks nearly plasticized. It somehow makes him less handsome. But, that may be precisely what you were aiming for. :)

Great steely stare. The shutter was pressed at the perfect time.

Lots of miles on that soul. Striking moment Dave. Feels like he is looking RIGHT AT ME...

Incredible B&W conversion, the eyes are pinging, and the story of his hatred towards you is clear for all to see. I truly hope you nailed all of the shots for that wedding!!! ;-)

Reminds me a bit of London Gangster Mad Frankie Frazer, you just can't pass faces like this off, I really do like this David. Might make a good PSD? I seem to be saying that a lot lately :)

Wow! Love the conversion on this one! Can't stop switching between the original and the B&W. Stunning. And you were right, this gentleman was definitely born to be photographed. He's got some stories to tell for sure.

Thanks everyone :)

Fantastic portrait !
comment by Simon at 10:34 PM (GMT) on 16 October, 2010
Great portrait - it just bothers me a little bit - it's like the subject has been transformed from 'my grandad' to a scary man who you wouldn't want to cross on a dark night.

I just find that image so compelling, not sure why
