Say hello to Paul, a neighbour, father, husband and all around good laddie!

D200, Tamron 17 - 50 f2.8, SB 800 shoot thro' camera left,
Vivitar 285 gridspot, camera right.
Apart from the fact that both of our daughters go to Brownies, (when you become a parent that's where all your new friends come from - school, Brownies, clubs...you are no longer an individual; now you become part of the greater collective known as 'parents') But Paul and I share something else; a fine appreciation of Jack Vettriano paintings. Paul is lucky enough to have a few, and here he is pictured in front of two of them. And I should say he is a Scot too...
For this shot I wanted to portray a hard edged Vettriano type picture as a photograph; film noir and gritty. This is the kind of photograph I like, and the low angle I shot at gives a very hard edge effect to the picture, I like the shadow falling on the wall over the two pictures, it makes you think about them...
Thank you Paul for being such a good sport, oh, and, er,...are you doing the Brownies collection this week...?
See the set up shot here...
