Bespoke

Am I busted?? Nah... He's posing.. Or about to but I prefer this version to the posed shot..

I did something tonight that isn't in my comfort zone and have only done before to buskers... I asked a complete strager if I could take his photo...

Sangeeta was in the shop next door so I took myself outside and noticed this dapper gent leaning in the doorway of his bespoke clothes shop in Soho reading a text on his iphone... Ask if I could grab a snap..He said yeah so here you have it...

Last day in work as a free man today.. Off now for a fortnight... must get 10 hours sleep in each day before my wedding LOL....

[9gpie]

great capture, although he does look unimpressed :0)

[bernadette mcelligott]

he does look stern......... enjoy your week off, although I am sure you will be run off your feet.

[payyourrates]

Nice one. Wish I had the guts to ask people for their photo.

[Loose Images]

Excellent shot...like his cool pose :)

[Michael Elliott]

Great shot! The man looks so cool. uh oh drum roll starting - last days as free man - then again she locked you up long ago I bet. Congrats!!!

[Carly]

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

Interesting guy, looks part toff part psychotic Eastend gangter the type of guy that would pull out your teeth using sugar tongs :D

[andy c]

@asrai haha great imagination you've there mate... but have to agree.. he does look dodgy...

[Andrea Freeman]

10 hours!!! Buskers? Bespoke clothing? amazing how we speak the same language but not! make sure you check out my pic for the day wink wink

[Leah B]

Great shot! I can't believe that as much street shooting as you do that this was your first time asking someone if you could take their photo. Yesterday I did the same thing....nerve racking, but totally worth it!

[Mek]

Well done Andy! Nice b&w. Sleep well!

[Carrie Smart]

Good shot. It paid off trying something new.

[Sheetal Thakker]

Love the look on his face :).. fab shot

[peter/zipp]

ha, yeah get some sleep fella, you're gonna need it..

[Aaron L]

f___king sick mate....well good. bravo for asking man....very well done.

[andy c]
