Description
This random man was one of two AA men responsible for the signage for the Bournemouth Air Festival. They were resting in the shade and I stopped for a long and interesting chat. They agreed to pics, and as I approached I said
"I'm coming rather close, but I won't hurt you" and this expression was the result!
see a mono and rather fearsome version Here

both versions of this photo are very intense in displaying that emotion Great capture
You can see he was getting worried Andrea !! Nice portrait.
He probably envisioned you taking a picture from eight feet away or something. :P He has beautiful eyes. Just lovely. I like the color shot, because it's a shame to hide those nice brown eyes!
Brilliant pic
Excellent capture of a worried man! You normally make them look so relaxed. He has a slight resemblance to Alistair McGowen I think!
Yes I can see what you mean here.. he doesn't seem very at easy.. maybe that's what cauaused the expression..
Super portrait shots!!
What did you threaten to do to him if he did'nt pose for you lol
LOL he looks as though he is ready to tear your head off :)
What is a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet? R. Give him a bandanna and a cutlass and he's ready to go. The mono rocks.
He looks mock-fierce to me, certainly there is a playful aspect to his expression. Great candid!
I agree with auntietk :)
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
He was happy to agree to the request but clearly he is very conscious of the situation and if he is AA it would be understandable.. as often the case that many have other issues secondary to the alcoholism and if they are abstaining.. it can leave them raw and feeling vulnerable, but he has passed that experience. I might add this is not from any personal experience but stuff I have understood by those who are alcoholics who I have known through the years... good many of them artists!.. lol
Wrong AA, Mark! The car people!
His eyes are an intense shade of brown, somewhat rare, I suspect, which is all the more appealing! It's funny because I suspect this is a mixture of things, including camera-face: it's like you caught his smile before it was done percolating. Either that, or he's doing the tough-guy vamp thing. That's the thing with someone doing the man-vamp expression for the camera. It takes a minute for it to gel. And that's what makes this image so perfect! It definitely looks like a staged, pantomime snarl just on the verge of becoming a smile. Great shot!
I see the nervous part but the aggressive looks evades me!
