Charlie Neil

This is Charlie from the Jazz Festival. He had this huge bus that had a grill that came out from the luggage rack. You can see part of it in the photo. I ended up hanging out these guys for a while talking about Columbia's past. Definitely 'good people' as we say in the south.

  • I always had it in my head that a person had to be looking at the camera to make a good portrait, but this proves me wrong.

    He looks like he has a lot of character. Looking forward to more shots from the Festival!

  • This is really an amazing portrait. The lighting and exposure are perfect, the toning compliments the image, and his expression is candid and natural. Excellent work.

  • Charlie looks like an intriguing person to talk to. I couldn't help notice how stylish he is. Very clever of him since he's a musician. Another great photo.
