George Galloway Addresses Respect Meeting

George Galloway Addresses Respect Meeting,

George Galloway, MP for Bethnal Green & Bow, addresses a meeting of the Respect coalition at Liverpool’s Gladstone Hotel, 07.02.2006.

George Galloway has become something of a figure of fun since his antics in Celebrity Big Brother, but he is one of the most recognised politicians in the UK since appearing on the show, so I considered him a valid subject for the assignment. I originally posted the image in black & white, but as Getty seem to only use colour, I re-posted the colour version. I tried to utilise the railings in the background to create a graphic effect, perhaps to invoke the bars of the cell he was held in, during his recent trip to Egypt. I selected a frame with the hand close into his body to allow a picture editor to crop in tight if required.
