Photographer's Note
This is 'The Boss'
He owns a carpentry workshop in Lamu and every time I visit during th last ten years he's always there, sitting in the same plac with the same attitude ordering his workers around and rarely , very rarely moving.
There is a large selection of other photographs from Lamu and also my book about the archipelago at my website www.daviddeveson.com for anyone who is interested.

Hi David,
I really like the mood of this image, and the contrast in lighting works very well. The neutral tones of the cream robe against the wooden chair and doorway add to the effect. Cheers, Grant

Very nice one! Good light, beautiful capture of his expression. I would immediately respect this boss, if I were working there...
