‘Belcher’

This is Big Nick Belcher
He’s one of a kind, rare breed Night Trunker.
No nonsense, opinionated, loud, brash, heavy smoking, foul mouthed and a monster eater……..But he’s loyal, committed, hard working, and so friendly and will drop absolutely everything to help you if needed.
He retires at the end of the year, and we’ll be all the worse for it. There simply isn’t this breed of character coming up through the ranks anymore, as all the young’uns are not interested in driving for a career!
He can’t stop and chat, he’s got another 300kms to smash👍📷
I love to use strobe for portraits, but my limitation with the SonyRX100iv is I’m forced to use the dreaded built in flash, which are just vile little things. But I like the challenge of using what you have, so I metered on the surroundings and dialled in a huge dollop of flash/exposure compensation, which gave me just enough fill, to illuminate he face, sorted👍
Fabulous characterization portrait!
