Paul Antonio, scribe & calligrapher at his workstation www.paulantonioscribe.com/.
Paul is an an acquaintance of some years, I was inspired to photograph him after he appeared on a BBC documentary about British history when he talked about the Book of Kells, one of the earliest illustrated bibles written in the UK. His enthusiasm was infectious. He also work with the British Museum as a consultant on ancient texts. His favourite text is Spencerian, very ornate.
I was going for the look of an monk of ancient days, working on texts in his cell. We are going to work on another version of this portrait in the future
