Original – Nils Torvalds, Member of the European Parliament for Finland in Strasbourg, France.
Reason
I was recently involved in a Wikimedia project to visit the European Parliament in Strasbourg and photograph the ~750 Members of Parliament in advance of the upcoming EU Elections. While the vast majority of the images we took are of good technical standard, it wasn't easy to take photos with 'character' as the politicians were often quite stiff and our makeshift 'studio' set up was not really geared towards aesthetics. This photo, of Nils Torvalds, a Finnish politician and coincidentally Linus Torvalds' father, is probably my favourite.
