This is an ultra-quick portrait I did of Billy, who you could describe as our local colourful character. After I'd done the football club's player-of-the-year photos on Saturday night, Billy and I were chatting and he leaned forward and put his hand up to his mouth. I asked him if he'd mind staying exactly how he was while I took a photo of him, and this is what I came up with.

Considering that I usually take upwards of half an hour to light a portrait and I did this in 10 seconds with one hand-held flash, I think it's pretty good. I don't expect Billy will have a computer so I'll give him a print.
