While walking the streets of Edinburgh on New Year’s Eve, we came across this charming old man. He was standing on the side of the street collecting money for the children’s hospital. He told us he raised something like 150,000 dollars, and he had the front page article of himself to prove it! I was looking for just this type of portrait; I have started a project that will last for the next 2 years involving these types of shots. Anyways I hope you enjoy!!
Thanks for visiting!

The focal point is spot on, love the shallow DoF and the processing is perfect. Look forward to more of these Adam.

Fantastic portrait Adam. It’s so wonderful that photography can help all of us meet people like this.
Portraits are definitely my weakest photographic subject – I’m more of a if it can’t talk back to me I’ll photograph it kinda guy. However, there is plenty to be said about great portraits, and this is one awesome example Adam!

What a great shot and in this instance what a nice man, there is no better time to collect money from people other than when they are drunk! He knew what he was doing…..
