[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some of the most popular TV shows are reality shows, because it is said, people love to watch people, the different faces, characteristics, personalities and actions all stimulate and amuse us. That's my reason for this post, this gentleman's name is Johannes Brummer he is 64yrs old, he used to be a postman until he became ill, and has now been with us for four years.
He has an interesting face and character, he wears his hat every where he goes, because of his sensitivity to the sun.
I took these shots in the shade(shot in B&W) and created this collage for you, hope you like it.

A lovely composition Mark and indeed he is a character. All the potraits are lovely and would stand well on there own. As a composition like this it is more of a testomony. A vry fine one too i must say.

informative note Mark and a superb act of humanity to put up this man with your family, or maybe do you work for an institution? your compo is excellent , playing with the various possibilities of sepia, b&w...This man is indeed a strong figure! thanks on his behalf to make him notorious.. his minute of fame ( like warhol used to say...).

Wonderful collage, well balanced as to the size of the photos and choice of soft colors. Showing different angles of this man on the same image makes it more alive. Good job.

Great job Mark I love the display of this collage and the colors is something I probably would not have thought of well done all around Mark I think I might have put a white frame around the bottom left picture though

Very,very good work.
Incredible detail,nice choice of tones.
Excellent,very well done.

His hands are HUGE! Very nice collage-I am sure he likes it!

his face is so rich in terms of lines and subtle expressions imho it´s a pity not to have a closer shot.
as for this one, it´s ok. miss the frame around the one at the bottom left hand ;))
would you post a single one of his face please?

great shot and great model. Like the way you process the images, i think b/w works best here. Good choice.

Very interesting work, Mark!
I like the hues you've used, very much.
Bringing a variety of shooting angles to one shot is very successful too.
Well and delicatly done!

Your job brings you in contact with some interesting individuals. I enjoy your portraits of the elderly very much, including these of Mr. Brummer.

magnifique composition de ce personnage, j'aimerais savoir poster plusieures photos en même temps comme cet exemple, pourrais-tu m'expliquer stp + en d'étails...merci...les couleurs employées sont bien étudiées, un travail de pro, un grand bravo....amitiés BI

I didn't see this one... Great one ! You are the best composer, Mark ! Excellent !

I have notice that you like the macros of everything, kids shots, but I like this of "The face of character".So strong, very good. He reflects life in his skin.
Well done.

Pamela
