National Photographic Portrait Prize 2014 Finalist
Daniel is a very unique character with his own distinctive style. I met him at university and he was always walking around in bare feet, wearing suspenders and carrying his banjo. He became known as Banjo Boy and when he was asked to pose for this picture, he made the effort to dress up in this unique suit.
