Meet Amos. An older man with a thick accent that makes it hard for even those who speak Liberian English like himself to understand him well. He has a strong grip, and doesn't look like old age has any chance on getting one over on him anytime soon. He has seen a lot, and is content with what he has done with his life. He is also a deeply religious man. I wanted to make sure in this picture to get the gleam in his eyes. In fact, it was intentionally very shallow depth of field to focus on what I viewed as important, the window into an amazing soul.

Canon M6 mark ii with Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 with Viltrox EF-Eos M2 adapter. 1/320 70mm 100 iso. Listed as f/2.8, but probably f/2.0 because the adapter stick sometimes.

Post-Processed on Ansel. Just some Color mapping, sharpening, and whitening teeth and eyes.

This is the black and white version. Wanting to see which is preferred by the masses.
