African imigrant

wayting for a new life

This is a beautiful, gritty portrait that addresses a subject that deserves more attention -- the fact that companies, rich people, arms, oil and goods are free to move but people are restricted. What I think this potrait misses, because it's so close, is some kind of context. In what kind of situation was this taken? On the other hand, if you backed up, you might lose some of the wonderful texture of the skin. I think this would work best in the context of a group of pictures that could inform us about the surroundings in which you found this person. I like the shot a lot. Keep it up.

In Spain I came in contakt with a group from Africa. I took a pictur of one, next day a give a photo to him, and then there was no problems wit the rest. Boys who are waiting for a new life in a Europa who dont want them,

Thanks

GREAT portrait with a GREAT story... and I hope he gets a GREAT new life
