The Different Personas of a Senior Man
“It’s all in there” is a collection of images that represent the feelings, yearnings, hopes and dreams that all exist in the life of this 86 year old man. From the joy of a child, the fun and arrogance of youth, the eligible bachelor, contented family man through to grandfather with character.
The images have been captured with high key lighting to reflect energy and vitality. The white clothing ties together the eras, until the last image, showing a burst of colour.

about the photographer
I only found the true passion of photography 3 years ago. If I could I would photograph our amazing world 24/7. It is such a joy to have found a way I can share with others how I see the world. Capture those amazing moments of people interacting, getting close with animals and nature, and be able to freeze a moment in time.back to gallery
