Stranger 50 of 100: Stephanie

I was out to lunch with my wife about two weeks ago. The 24-70 mm lens that I rented had just arrived and I was literally begging her to let me take a few picture of her. After I took a few photos of her and we were walking back to her office she pointed out the small garden in the middle of the open area. My wife told me that she thought it would make a wonderful stranger portrait. Shortly after dropping her off at work I went hunting for strangers. I literally couldn’t help myself when I saw a couple near the flower garden and the girl was wearing bright pink to complement the flowers! Meet Stephanie a smiling brightly colored individual. She was hanging out with her boyfriend Matt (Stranger 51) killing some time between classes. Stephanie and Matt came to school from a tiny town in Wyoming. She is studying kinesthesiology and Matt is studying petroleum engineering. They are in their first semester. I asked them they were enjoying themselves and they told me they were. I have been fairly unsuccessful in photographing couples separately. I was really set on photographing each individually. I had Matt hold the reflector while I took a few images of Stephanie and then had them swap. I took a shot of them together so that they could have it later on.

 

Thank you Stephanie for helping me out with my 100 Strangers Project!
