We only had about 1 1/2 hours to shoot Andrew in between him talking to the public out in Northgate shopping centre. I was amazing to see him in action, everyone wanted to have their 5 minutes with Andrew Wilkie, and he was more than happy to oblige. As expected getting his away from the crowd to get a portrait was more than a little difficult so Katie (my assistant) and I set up a small studio shoot in a back alley and bided our time.
After a couple of false starts we eventually coaxed Andrew away for about 4 minutes to grap a couple of images.
Andrew Wilkie was amazingly giving with his time and genuinely interested in everyone that he met, I was left with a great impression of him as a committed federal representative.. if only there were a couple more out there!
Wow, love this photographs. Great use of shadows and of course a very interesting portrait subject.
