Devon portrait photographer Guy Harrop meets a wise Dutchman on whistlestop UK visit

As a busy PR and portrait photographer you meet and photograph hundreds of people every month - that is the beauty of your job. Work can be so rewarding. This month I have seen my images on book covers, in National and International newspapers and magazines, on billboards and buses. This morning I was photographing a wise and knowledgable Dutchman who travels the world with his favourite items, his beanie and boots. We drank coffee and chatted about his lifelong travels.He is off back to Holland then Tasmania, eventually New Zealand for a few months after Christmas. Both a published writer and traveller his face oozed wisdom, I was enchanted and also humbled by his knowledge and kindness as he stared at my camera. As photographers, we are so lucky to gain the experiences we do and meet who we meet. A photograph can be priceless and is a moment in time we have captured forever.
