Very nice portrait, Blanka. I love the complimentary tones: The wall, the table and his skin; the sewing machine and his clothing; the thread on the bobbin and the garment; the logo on his T-shirt and the colors in his hat.
Very nice indeed.
Very nice indeed.

It does all pull together brilliantly - almost as if you planned it in a studio.
The over all colour and texture is very much like a painting, and the eye contact is really compelling.
How did you go about approaching him for a photograph?

Beautiful blanka. As said above love the eye contact. I have a singer sewing machine like that. Was my great grandmothers. What I really like is the way the light switch for me balances the shot

Beautiful!
I really like this shot
There are so many little elements that make the composition really nice ... even minor things like the scissors and lightswitch seem perfectly placed!
I like the scratches and partially hidden grafiti too... there is a lot of story in the image even without looking at the subject!
Im quite envious of you having the opportunity to take shots like this!

Hi Chris,
thank you for your comment. They are still using these machines there and they do great things on it
And how did I approached him? The dress he is sewing is for me
And I made the tailors to laugh, even when they seemd to be so serious before. That is the best key. They started to like me and we spent some time together.
I really do like this picture and I am proud of that, that it was shot this way and it did not need any help of any programs

Thank you Hamish,
it is simple reality
No studio neither working the composition out.
I am also glad, I could experience that place.

All the times I've looked at this shot and the time it's been in the site header I've just noticed the side on profile of a man shouting at the tailor 
...
Can anyone else see it or have I started drinking too early
