Evie - stranger 498
I met Evie at Nottingham’s Samhain Pagan Market. She was with her friend Christian, who you can see as my previous stranger.
Evie was standing by one of the entrances to the market so I decided to photograph her where she was. Evie said that seeing all kind of paraphernalia through the bars would give the image a better street look than if it had been a simple plain background. This comment came about as I was constantly changing my viewpoint to try and eliminate bright highlights from behind Evie that I felt would be a distraction.
Evie’s observation and the way she changed her pose and head angle each time I took a photograph gave me the impression she knew about photography and had some modelling experience. This she confirmed when I asked her and she told me she used to be a fashion model specialising in lingerie. She then said that the industry now considers her to old so she doesn’t model anymore.
Evie is from London but now lives in Nottingham. Evie has her own business designing and making wearable art/stage wear for heavy metal bands and wrestlers. Evie named Cradle of Filth and Lords of the Lost as two of her metal band clients and Lyra Valkyria from the wrestling world.
In her spare time Evie enjoys going ballroom dancing and taking part in historical European martial arts.
The one-word Evie used to describe herself was feral and her biggest strength is her empathy.
If I could grant Evie a wish, what would it be for? “For everybody to feel the results of what they do to others,” was her thought-provoking answer.
Thank-you Evie for saying yes to my request to photograph you for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 498 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
This is my 460th submission to the Human Family Group. To view more street portraits and stories visit www.flickr.com/groups/thehumanfamily/
