Your images are instantly recogniseable within this forum, Simon.. Its a real reminder of how beautiful reportage can be (I have not looked at this type of work for a while - I miss it!). Tremendous light, composition, subject and framing - all the usual things which you portray quite effortlessly - !

lovely - !

Man...
Outstanding portrait, that diagonal, the window enclosing him, all those crappy tattoes, his sensuous gesture...the ceiling lines converging. Beautiful tonality and a great project and a fav...
Superbe, voilà!

That frame within a frame...you are the man Simon. Wonderous use of angles. The scene though, just an amazing glimpse of a working man. The dirt on the hands and half finished tattoos.

Fav.

Splendid moment Simon, that alone would make this a nice image. The framing, setting and b&w conersion lift this already nice scene into a powerfull portrait that just showcases your talent. Again a fav for me

Another stunning portrait.  As Francis says, lines and geometrical elements combine with the man's position in the frame and his attention make this a really strong one.  Your PP is just perfect for this subject. Bravo!

One of your best portraits, Simon. EVerything conspires to make this specisl ^- the confluence of lines, the moment of "ligbhting uo", the long perspective, the "frame within a frame" - an environmental masterpiece.

Real man in real life, fixing real things really greasy and lighting real cigarettes.
really good photo.
On the other hand maybe I could have expected a "dirtier" grittier photo process, with hard pitch blacks.
