Max - stranger #17
This is Max from Crawley, Sussex. She was on the South Bank sketching St Paul's cathedral and agreed to a stranger portrait, warning me first that she wasn't at all photogenic. I tried a new approach to the stranger portrait this time: I took a polaroid picture which I gave to Max and then 2 or 3 shots with Kodak Portra 160. The whole process is quite long with all manual settings and manual focus (used an android app to get light readings) Max really liked the polaroid and it might have been the best shot out of the set. Still, I like this one, too, and I think Max's style and look really suited film. Was good to talk to you Max, thanks for being a great stranger.
This is #17 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
