I don’t take photos of people very often, mostly because I don’t want to be shouted at and asking takes away the casual air. A public event like a parade is always a good place to try, let’s face it, if you put yourself in the limelight there’s a chance someone will snap you!
Paula’s black and white Sunday theme this week is ‘Head shot’, I caught Mr Morris Man with an odd look on his face, he was mid jig. I quite like watch Morris dancing, but it seems they’re like Marmite, you either love them or hate them!
Lucid Gypsy 
Same goes here.. I too don’t like to take pictures.
My sentiments exactly about photographing people. I’ll tell you what though, if you do b&w serves well. This is a great photo and a thought-provoking expression.he looks quite mischievous.
Great image- as Meg says, you’ve caught a good expression…. Apropos Morris Dancers, personally I can’t stand ’em!
I know how you feel Gilly. This one is a great portrait. Very candid 🙂
Love this head shot. I like to take people shots but I try to talk with them and then take the pic.
Changes the spontaneity though.
I was thinking about Christine today, went and found her blog still up and saw the wonderful photo of the two of you in a field.
Keep shooting people, Gilly. You did a great job.
I thought that was Jeremy Corbyn at first! Like others, despite valuing traditional customs, I don’t ‘do’ Morris men.
It is definitely a tricky thing.. portrait photography. But yes agreed, that if someone is on show like this, they are fair game. Great shot!!
Lots of character to that face! He’d perform for you any time, Gilly 🙂 🙂 Happy weekday hugs!
Great capture! I don’t normally feel comfortable to photo people unless it’s an event. 🙂
What a perfect shot, Gilly! He would love it, I’m sure. 🙂
I’m with you on not taking head shot photos. If I travel and take a photo I ask first and always tip.
Great capture of this mans face. 😎
Wonderful Gilly! What a great shot .. I’m with you though, I’m funny about taking pics of people 🙂
