Katie - stranger 340
A trip into Nottingham with no other purpose than to add to my stranger project proved to be fruitful. As I slowly ambled along the streets my eyes fell on a young lady walking towards me. Her black attire, and black red hair produced a striking look, so I stepped forward and introduced the project to her.
I photographed Katie exactly where we met, asking her to lean on a concrete post so I could use a building as the backdrop to her portrait. The day was overcast with a little brightness coming from my left which produced some gentle modelling to Katie’s face. It was also windy, and that caused a few problems with Katie’s hair blowing across her face, so it was just a matter of taking a few more images than I normally would to ensure I got some photographs with hardly any flyaway hairs crossing her face.
Katie is a student in her second year of studying politics. She told me she’d like to work in the charity sector once qualified.
When not studying, Katie likes to play video games and read fantasy novels.
What can’t Katie live without? “My dog, Indi,” she replied, then told me, “She’s a Red Lakeland Jack Russel cross.”
I asked Katie to describe herself in one word. Vibrant, was her answer.
What is Katie’s guilty pleasure? Katie smiled and then said, “eating chocolate when there is no one else around, especially Cadbury’s Chocolate Buttons.”
Thank-you for saying yes to being photographed for my stranger project Katie. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 340 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
