Issy (75/100)

I managed to grab a quick hour or so in town with my brother today, which was nice as it has been ages since we have been out taking photos together- think it was the 100 strangers London meet up!

The light was beginning to go, so we were on our way to grab a coffee and then go to the car when I spotted Issy standing outside the main shopping centre in the middle of Leicester. She was selling poppies, and I had to check with my brother that he hadn't already photographed her, as he had stopped a girl selling poppies at the other end of town a little while earlier. My luck was in, and it was a different lady, so I approached her with the aim of asking for her portrait and buying a poppy.

Unfortunately for me, I had left my wallet in the car (good excuse to not get the coffee's in I guess!), but Issy was very understanding and agreed to have a few pictures taken for the project anyway.

Issy is a student from Leeds, but was down in Leicester at the moment.

I didn't feel that it was right to keep her from her job for too long, so I gave her a moo card and headed off, but it was a pleasure meeting her.

Issy really stood out from the crowd, with brilliant blue eyes, and a great style about her, and she came across as being very chilled out and friendly.

 

Thanks Issy for being part of my project, and I hope you like your pictures.
