Re: Pit foreman

Nice expression and I like the half light, half shade.

Shame about the anachronistic glasses though. Nothing you can do about that other than ask him to take them off but it spoils the period look he’s trying to achieve.

Re: Pit foreman

Thank you, Andy. I felt brave asking if I could take his photo, LOL.

Do they get paid?

I had it in the back of my mind that they were volunteers ............. I'm probably wrong though!

Re: Pit foreman

I don't know if they get paid, I am afraid.

Stan, I was aiming for a sidelit portrait, but I could have probably brought the shadows up a tad.

My understanding is that the costume/period dressed people are volunteers. But I could be wrong.

Re: Pit foreman

Agree about the glasses but also agree it's hard to ask.

I like the lighting with the shadow on the face suited very well to black and white processing. [emoji106]

Re: Pit foreman

I was thinking more that in putting on the uniform, it is expected they allow paying visitors to take photographs for their personal use, that certainly was the position at the Black Country Living Museum, which is a similar idea
