Albert is Homeless in Manchester in the Uk, plays the guitar and begs for pennies to feed himself each day. He has a History degree, yet chooses the streets. Make of him what you will, but he is one of the nicest chaps I have ever come across.

Canon 5d3, canon flash and trigger.Inspiration
I was creating a set off work about homeless people in the city when I came across Albert who was busking to earn money. Albert was an ex history teacher who's world fell apart when his wife suddenly passed away. Dealing with the loss of his wife Albert lost his home and wound up on the streets.A very educated and interesting man who was happy to be photographed.Editing
Very little post processing.In my camera bag
Fuji xt3, 18-55mm, Samyang 12mm, fuji 50 - 200mm. Godox flash.Feedback
High speed sync was key to blacking out the background elements and creating a more moody atmosphere.
