These are amazing shots! You captured feelings, not just faces. B&W is justified here, absolutely!
I think the man with a plaster isn't totally B&W, kind of decoloured, right? Anyway, his emotions are portrayed brilliantly!

YEs the decoloured is correct, sort of bruised really in a way

Yeah, bruised is the effect... You made his suffering look even more intolerable. Hats off!

The first picture is very dramatic. What could have provoked the man's outrage?

That was not actual outrage directed at me. He is a Big Issue seller Big Issue is a magazine sold on the streets by the unemployed and sometimes hom,eless as a means to try and get back on their feet. I usually buy an issue but refuse to accept the magazine itself from him. I tell him I will take a picture from him and he will pull whatever face he wants.

This one was brilliant.

I think he is just someone who fell on bad times after losing his job. HE is always cheerful and funny and he is extremely intelligent just down on his luck

I always feel shy to take people's faces. You found a way to make the man act out for you. Very nice indeed!

Thank you

I know someone who pushes his camera into peoples faces just to get a street character photograph I am more sircumspect and usually take a shot from a distance or carry the camera in a way that it doesnt look like I am taking the picture of someone.
