50@50 – 5: The Musical Weatherman
This chap can only be described as a character. I’ve known him for a long time now. He recently got in touch and asked me if I would mind taking a few shots for him playing his guitar “for a laugh, like”. For something that was only supposed to be for a laugh, I have to say there was a lot of undirected (natural) shaping going on!!
Although I do reckon he’d make a great model – if only for his ability to follow direction (oh, and his rugged good looks).
It was a miserable bloody day – stormy is the only way to describe it. We ended up spending a few hours out in the rain around Adare getting the shots, I have to say, it was nothing short of hilarious. I’ll be posting a few non-50mm photos from this set over the next few weeks.
Alas, I won’t see the lad for a while now as he is moving abroad. Fitz, best of luck with your new career working as a Musical Weatherman on Dutch national TV!!

Great portrait Denis. The out of focus background is perfect for it. I’d say ye had some laugh doing it!
Thanks for the comment Kev. And thanks for the feedback!
