I'm feeling singularly uninspired by my photos this week, mostly I guess because for once I had a very specific photo in mind and I just could quite get it. I'll keep working on that one, meanwhile I decided to just go with one of the other photos I took this week.
This sculpture is called "LIFFE Trader" and was placed in London in 1997. It depicts an investment banker with his mobile, presumably doing trades on the LIFFE exchange. Apart from the fact that mobiles have become much smaller, this could be a modern day trader, or anyone else working in London for that matter. Still, this is a lovely model for a photo shoot, sure he's a bit rigid and only knows one pose, but he's endlessly patient.
There's no special technique to this photo and apart from a little cropping no post processing either, next week I hope to have something a bit more challenging.
He would also probably have a skinny tie ;)
