100 Strangers: 223 Lorena (Explored)

So this portrait was one that I actually did on a street portrait workshop with Gabrielle Motola who is an awesome street portrait photographer.

 

More recently I have tended to rely on the reflector a lot to ensure that I get good light on to a subject face, but Gabrielle challenged me by suggesting that I don't use it.

 

The second thing she challenged me to do is to take more time with the strangers which I tend not to do as I am trying to be respectful of their time. However, your subjects will either tell you or signal in some way when its time and it's your job to make the most of the encounter. This is what I tried to do with Lorena, an influencer, so I ended up taking both more fuller body shots (see the other image on my page), close ups as well this one here which I chose to showcase her style.

 

Thank you Lorena. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the
