No worries mate, don't feel bad I love the comments !!!

The shoot was actually around 7 minutes the rest of the time was chat. I always talk to clients first. I try to see what mood they are in and then try and get them to forget the cam and continue to talk about how they feel while I shoot.

As for the money...I never 'lifted ' sod all mate, that suggests I ripped him off. No no no. He has seen my work from another customer. I am stacked out at the moment and said I could only give him half hour. He suggested a price to make it worth my while and I said yes. Almost no photoshop whatsoever.

This is a job bud..Sometimes I get a kick out of a shoot and other times its a job and money. This was exactly what he wanted. i doubt I will ever see him again. He is really pleased and for me thats a done and shut job.

Its ok that you don't like it!!!! it really is buddy. In fact I am glad you don't, its nice to get some crits.

Its a bread and butter shot Rob, simple as that. no creative input been included.

This is the kind of pic I love taking...it has minimal post work, no fuss, no bother...a plain and honest portrait in mono.....how beautifully simple is that? Well paid and one happy punter...I wish every day was like today.
