STREET STYLE
Meet Max and Vanessa. I saw these cool humans hanging out in this doorway: a perfect frame for a portrait. They were super-relaxed and a real joy to shoot! Totally dig Max’s outfit – and Vanessa’s bold colours and awesome sunglasses.
In terms of choosing who and what to shoot, I look for nuances in character and appearance. This stunning human’s hair caught my attention and I noticed they were reading a book. Not wanting to disturb – but also hoping to take their portrait – I approached and complimented their aesthetic. Shot in situ, I wanted to capture the scene as I had first seen it. Coincidentally, the book in hand had a fitting title – one to add to the reading list.
Another favourite from the past month. I met Annie while she was sitting in the grounds of St Edward King and Martyr church. I love the contrast of the blues within the greens of the foreground and background, separated by the soft lavender colour of the skirt. It was nice to capture her portrait in a different setting, adding various elements to the scene.
Here we have a splendid human whose personality shines through, with some really cool tattoos to boot! It just amazes me how friendly people can be. Building a rapport with your sitter in a matter of minutes is key to capturing their character and individuality in a photograph. Also, loving the backdrop!
