Paula: Stranger # 18
I spotted Paula walking along Hitchin High street, she looked so lovely with her red and white spotted headband and red lipstick. Paula seemed shocked that I would ask to take her photo and said she wasn't very photogenic, I told her about the project and said there was no pressure to participate, she very kindly agreed. I asked Paula to move to where this red brick wall is to make for a better backdrop. This is the first time I've plucked up the courage to ask anyone to move to a better location and it was easier than I expected.
Paula told me that her partner had a vintage clothes business in Coventry and she splits her time between Coventry and Hitchin, where her mother lives.
This picture is #18 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
