Street Tailor by the Poster Wall Monochrome Portrait of Work - Uganda 2012
A striking black and white portrait by Teus Renes, taken June 30, 2012, in Uganda. A man pauses from his work at an outdoor treadle sewing machine, looking directly at the viewer. He is set against a heavily textured wall covered with layers of torn posters, many appearing to be political campaign notices, adding a layer of social context to this image of daily work and craftsmanship.
