Stranger 564 - Anya

I met Anya and her partner, John, in the Glastonbury Abbey grounds. When I asked Anya if I might take her photograph, she agreed. It was a bright sunny day and I took the couple to the shade of a nearby tree.

 

Anya works as a tattoo artist, in Bristol. Anya and John were enjoying looking at the stalls in the Medieval Fayre that was taking place in the abbey grounds.

 

When I had taken two or three shots of Anya, I asked if John would like to join her so that I could take a portrait of them both together. I had them move to the left then to the right – so that the trunk of the tree comprised the whole of the backdrop. We all smiled as they moved to and fro according to my instructions.

 

I had given John my card before taking photos of Anya. He gave it back to me when we were done. He had already photographed it with his phone.

 

Thank you Anya for being part of my project. It was great to meet you and John today.
