Description
Probably my favourite photo from my day in the city. You'll see this guy a few times."Support street performance," is something this guy said while trying to convince everyone to give him money.
A street performer in Circular Quay, Sydney.

Wonderful expression! A face full of character. I like the colour ... can feel the sun on his face! A great shot.

Do i see an insight into the photographers personality and personal preference for photos? The tight cropping to only reveal wat appears to a male nude, could be because of wanting to cut out stuff in the background, but i think maybe u saw this shot because of the 'male artistic nude' you endevour to get out there.
enough of that,
This guy seems like a fairly well off street peformer, after all he had a mic there dont see many of those where i come from
great shot, the light is awsome, this could almost been a studio shot!

No!
Actually it was more a matter of wanting a solid background, plus it made him seem more isolated in his craziness than if he'd had the city behind him.
Of course, I think that people should look at this - at what I'm able to do with someone out on the street - and start throwing themselves at me to do more staged photos. Artistic nudes included.

this is a really interesting portrait. I love the shadows & lighting, and how you've captured his expression. Kinda gives you an insight into him - which is what portraits are supposed to do

I don't get into the city that often, and that's really the only place you find these performers (that I've noticed, anyway ), so they're always pretty interesting to watch. This guy was crazy to boot.
I was happy with the background, too! And the craziness of his act is what gave me that background, rather than a whole bunch of people and buildings and busy crap like that. Which will be shown in upcoming photos.
Thank ya for the fave!

He definitely was. And this photo doesn't even show what he was actually doing!
