Nice portraits Adebanji. Do you have a conversation with your subjects?
Thanks- yes I do!
Beautiful, beautiful work.I wish I could let go of my inhibitions and connect to people on street like you do!
Thanks Arti! It's well worth a try!
You have a brilliant way to capture in your paper the life, aura and character of people! Partially, maybe, cause they share with you their stories and then some of their words become shapes under your pencils... Marvelous work!!
Thanks Konstantina! You maybe be right!
These are great--very well done. Nice way to connect with people.
Thanks Stephanie!
