Ellie - stranger 410

 

Whilst photographing my previous stranger, Hattie, her friend Ellie turned up, so I asked if she’d like to be a stranger for me too.

 

We moved a few feet away from where I photographed Hattie which allowed me to use a different part of the university building as a background. Luckily, the wind dropped for a couple of minutes so I didn’t have problems with blowing hair.

 

Ellie had met Hattie at university as they were studying the same subject, psychology and criminology. Ellie is from Leicestershire, but is now living in Nottingham while she studies.

 

When not studying, Ellie enjoys visiting pubs, especially those with beer gardens. Ellis is also a huge rugby fan and told me she used to play competitively in the right-wing position for the army cadets in local tournaments.

 

I asked Ellie to describe herself in one word and she said complicated. Ellie’s first star crush had been on Michael Jackson and her guilty pleasure is reading about the Tudor time period.

 

Thank-you Ellie for agreeing to be photographed for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.

 

This picture is number 410 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a fifth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
