Wow, what character. Imagine the stories this man can tale you; along with the hidden wisdom you'll find. Great shot.

Location
I took this picture in the streets of Naples (IT)Time
It was early morning ... Thomas had just woken up from his corner of the street and I saw him from a distance. I ran up to him and asked him to photograph him . He was very kind ... he told me his story.Lighting
There was a beautiful natural light , not too strong ... the sky was cloudy. The light was perfect to highlight his face.Equipment
i used canon eos 7d with 50mm f1.8...and nothing more.Inspiration
I like street photography and street portrait. when I saw him I could not let me escape ... I ran to him. I told him my name, and then we began to talk. I offered him a cigarette and I started taking pictures while he told his story.Editing
I used a personal Dragan effect for this portrait.In my camera bag
I usually carry with me a Canon eos 6d with 40mm f2.8, 16-28mm f2.8 and 24-105mm f4 ... and a monopod. For the steet photography almost exclusively use the 40mm.Feedback
Traveling , move. The world is full of beautiful people with a story to tell, just approach and ask them to tell us about it.
