Wow, that look draws me right into this picture! His face seems to show a deep kindness but also hints of suffering endured and challenges mastered.

Great insight James, you have described Abdel's situation at the time exactly.

very nice - camera/lens?

Thank you OR120!  Not a Leica but a Pan-Leica 12-35 lens on an Olympus EM-5 Mk1 (vintage 2012).  Such a great combination, cost today in excellent condition about US$700.00 for both.

A chance encounter in a shoe shop, so artificial light, ISO 800 at maximum aperture f/2.8.  The background was although plain was quite messy so I picked what I thought was a good colour from that background, made a selection, filled that and the result is how you see it.  No studio, no reflector, just a five minute chat.
