This picture is #36 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
The shot is taken in the Bullring area of Birmingahm, the young men here were happy to be arranged for the group shot and happy to be part of the photographing strangers project. I think two of them were on holiday from the Punjab and two living in Birmingham. One thing that seems to happen spontaneously within the project and the photography that goes with it, is that those being photographed want to be sure that a good image is achieved, One that is worthy of the time and can be posted on here or maybe IG. With group shots it seems even harder to get all sorted in the limited time, always one person soon gets fed up with posing, to get some space around the people seems to be sense but the young men in this case, like most, want to get close and in a line, in this case in front of the rather fine bull, they are all close friends so why not, but space seems to be the way.
