Chloe - stranger 210/300
I’d found my previous stranger, Kate, shopping in a plant store in the Sneinton market area of Nottingham. Kate had been chatting to the shop assistant when I’d been asked by the latter if she could help me, so I introduced the project to them, both liked the idea and agreed to be photographed for it. After photographing Kate outside, I returned to the shop to photograph Chloe.
As Chloe was the only shop personal on duty she asked to be photographed inside the store as she couldn’t leave it unattended. This was fine by me. As the product sold here was cacti, succulents, and other house plants I wanted to show some of them in background to give an idea as to the environment Chloe worked in. A lot of daylight was coming into the building as two walls were almost completely constructed from glass so taking the picture was straight-forward.
The shop is called The Watered Garden and the business has been running very successfully for the past two years, although it has only been in this location since November 2018. In Chloe’s spare time she enjoys the craft of Macramé and the plant hangers and other items for sale in the shop are all made by Chloe. If you’d like to find out more about this shop then you can do so here: thewateredgarden.co.uk/
Chloe told me another pastime of hers is indoor climbing. Something she had done a lot of when she was younger, had then stopped for a while and had recently taken it up again.
I asked Chloe who her first star crush had been on and she said Jeremy Sumpter in his role of Peter Pan in the 2003 film of the same name.
What does Chloe like best about Nottingham? The unique people and places she said. What does she like least about Nottingham? The rapid rise in pay and display parking bays and the endless roadworks.
Just before I left the shop, I had time for one last question and that was to ask what Chloe would say she is most awesome at. Chloe smiled and then said, “Being carefree.”
Thank-you Chloe for allowing me to interrupt your working day and for saying yes to being photographed for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is #210 in the 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a third round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
