Stranger 38 of 100: Randy
Meet Randy the second stranger that I was able to shoot on a late spring day in Laramie. If you read my last stranger you will know that Randy and Alex are friends who were walking together when I initially approach. As I mentioned in my previous post I had approached Randy inside a near by building because of her exposed hair and extremely colorful scarf. After explaining the project she had immediately volunteered her friend Alex (Stranger 37) who took some wonderful portraits in the snow.
After getting outside into the slightly sheltered location and shooting a few portraits of Alex I asked her, “Are you sure you don’t want a portrait?” I think after looking at a few of the images on the back of my camera she volunteered. She was starting to pull the scarf up pretty high, and I said why don’t you go a head and pull it all way up and just leave your eyes exposed. Since the scarf was so colorful, and would capture how cold it really was outside I thought it surely couldn’t hurt. I also think it helped Randy relax a little bit more behind the camera. I thought it would make for a great portrait if I could nail the focus on the eyes. I think the result was great.
Randy, I hope that you enjoy your portrait and thank you for being a part of my 100 Strangers Project!
