100 Strangers: 75/100 Clara

I met Clara when out in Portobello Road with Arnab last month. We had been wandering around the market, cameras at the ready but mainly chatting and eating before heading out to dinner in another part of town. It was late afternoon when I met Clara who was out with her friend shopping in the area.

I'm always attracted to different things when making a street portrait and with Clara it was her cool and casual sense of style and epic overall look.

I made my street portrait pitch and she was really happy to take part, we made out way over to a side street just off the market that I had in mind to use as a backdrop and shot off a couple of different shots.

Clara made it all look super easy, naturally striking the exact cool and calm look I was after for the portrait.

Clara is from Sweden and was travelling around with a friend over the summer before heading home where she studies Psychology.

Another wonderful encounter wandering around the city.
