100 Strangers - Josna - 117
I was nearing the end of the day, the light was fading and I was about to say goodbye to Evan and Neil (Peter was already on his way to the airport) when I noticed Josna crossing the road and I approached her straight away. Josna agreed after I explained the project and as we were at a very busy crosswalk I opted for this shop front which Peter had used earlier and I think Neil has also used in the past. I struggled a bit with the light as it was getting quite dark, in hindsight I should have asked Even or Neil to pop out an additional reflector. Josna had just finished work for the day, she works in the massive H&M store which is one of my favourites, Josna was my fifth and final stranger for my visit to Melbourne. I think all up the four of us, Peter, Neil, me and Evan had a very successful day and came away with some great shots and some new friendships and I am looking forward to the next one either in Sydney or Melbourne or perhaps even Perth.
Thank you Josna for stopping after no doubt a very busy day in H&M, I hope you like the photos and I'll send you the originals.
This picture is number 117 in my second round of the 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
Olympus OM-D EM-1, Leica 25mm 1.4, ISO 200, 1/100 F1.4. Sunfire reflector for additional light
