Molly - stranger 271/300
A trip to Nottingham’s Highfields Park gave me plenty of opportunity to approach people to see if they’d be willing to let me photograph them for my stranger project.
Molly was walking towards me, so I stepped forward and introduced the project to her. Molly didn’t hesitate in saying yes to being photographed. As we’d met right near the edge of the lake, I decided to use it as a background. The sun had gone behind a light cover of cloud, which produced a beautiful soft light that was easy to work with. Every now and again I had to wait for a rowing boat to move out of frame and for one or two ducks that took off from the water behind Molly.
Molly is in her second year of a three-year course in Criminology. Molly would like to get a job in the Civil Service but hasn’t made her mind up as to which area she’d like to work in yet.
When not studying Molly plays as a forward for Beeston Hockey Club. Molly also plays polo for the university team and said she has always ridden horses, adding that her mother owns quite a few. Even though her mum wants her to explore other forms of horse riding, Molly said she’s sticking with polo.
I asked Molly what her guilty pleasure was and she said listening to Taylor Swift.
If Molly was to describe herself in one word, what would that be? “Indecisive,” she said.
What is Molly’s biggest strength? “Being resilient,” was her reply.
If Molly met her younger self, what advice would she pass on? “Don’t worry and enjoy things for what they are,” she said.
Thank-you Molly for agreeing to be photographed for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is #271 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
