Mark Burgess, Invisible (PEOPLE 2023)

This photo was taken in Sydney’s CBD during a street photography workshop. I approached this gentlemen in the photo and he agreed to have his photo taken. This photo is the only one I took of him. During my time with this soft-spoken, gentle man, I gained a feeling of gratitude from him, that during the shoot he was being noticed. He made a point to ask if I wanted to take more photos and regretfully, I declined and continued on. As I moved down the street, I took a quick glance back, and he was gone. It was like he became invisible again. I wish I had taken more photos.
