The French Soap Seller
March 26th, 2006 by Donncha
One of the stalls at the St. Patrick’s Festival Market sold perfumed soaps and other crafts. This French gentleman owned the stall and cheerfully told us that he’d be travelling the country until his stock ran out, at which point he’d return home and have to do household chores for his wife!
I think he enjoyed life on the road.

Excellent capture. It looks like a very old photo.. maybe it’s his hat? I love it!

Thanks guys, he was a nice guy and obviously enjoying himself in Cork. I wish they’d organise markets like this more often as they’re very interesting!

Great portrait! He doesn’t look like a soap seller, though. He looks a little rougher than that. You did a wonderful job capturing the man.

Great character study. A real classic portrait look.

Love the picture. It shows lots of character in his face. I wish mens hats would come back in style, they really add something.
