Portrait: Honorable Mention 2022 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This is a monochromatic street portrait of one of Northampton Town's famous characters, who unfortunately passed away mere weeks after I took this portrait. He was a homeless man called "George". A lovely, friendly and bubbly character who sadly, has just lost his way in life. He always has a smile and a wink for passers by. He was very engaging and seemed honoured that I wanted to take his portrait.
