Blade - stranger 324
A trip into Nottingham city centre gave me the opportunity to add to my stranger project. As I wandered down a street in the Lace Market, I saw someone sitting on the steps of a building. I also noticed her coloured hair, so decided to stop and see if she’d agree to being photographed.
I asked Blade if she would stand up so I could use the door she was leaning against as a background. Having her stand, put Blade’s head and shoulders into an area of brighter light than had she remained sitting. Blade’s headphones were on her head, so I asked if she’d remove them as they were hiding a good portion of her colourful hair.
Blade told me she was waiting for a friend and that they were planning to watch a movie on Netflix, although she didn’t know what that would be at the moment.
As Blade spoke to me, I detected an accent so asked where she was from. Canada was her reply, and she added that she had moved to England at a very young age.
Blade is a student, and she is studying creative writing.
I asked Blade what her guilty pleasure was, and she told me watching Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.
When I asked Blade what she couldn’t live without she said her headphones.
What one word would Blade use to describe herself? Honest was her answer.
Thank-you Blade for saying yes to me photographing you for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 324 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a fourth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
