Coffee & Portrait

My local Coffee Shop is my Portrait Studio.

Maida Vale is full of Cafes, Coffee Shops, I know most of the owners.

The Coffee Shop is a place where the community hangs out. First thing in the morning, like I do, or late afternoon.

Wherever I travel in the world, I always find a Coffee Shop near my location. This is my base, the owners see me every morning, I make friends, Portraits follows.

I love what the Coffee Shop represents; an extension of my home.

The people who run these establishment have become an extension of my family. This is my sanctuary, my downtime location.

I read, study, sit quietly, practice sleight of hand and…..pray🙏🏽

Thanks for reading.
