Mac

Mac was my 2nd 100portraits subject and I was a bit nervous taking his picture. Mac was a professional photographer and so being sent to him on my 2nd outing with so little experience was a shock. He turned out to be a great guy, and did all he could to help me, but I stayed a little uptight throughout. This was taken at ISO 1000 and so has a little noise, but I really love it and can’t believe I didn’t pick it first time around. If I remember right, Mac’s father once owned this model of car, hence us using it as a setting. I suspect I made the black and white conversion because of the colour cast from the overhead flourescents in the museum that we were in. They had a very green cast that was unusually difficult to shift; It suits the old car anyway.

I really love the direct intensity of Mac’s look here.
