Stranger #26: Margan
This picture is #26 in my 4th round of the 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
Walking around Soho with Arnab I'd seen a cool brown wall that I'd thought would make a good background. But no suitable candidates were on hand so I filed it away. Three blocks later I saw Margan with a large group of friends and the pieces clicked together.
I love the stars on her back and wanted to try to include that in the picture which is why I chose the image with this pose. In truth I have a couple of technically better images of her but this is the one that I had in mind when I first saw her so in it goes.
Margan is from Turkey and has been living in London for 3 years and is loving it here.
I've not been including all of my street portraits in the 100 Strangers group as I feel like many of them are about me doing what I do and enjoying the process, but not stretching myself in new directions. However this one was always intended to be a little different and for the project. I have conflicting views for myself on trying new things vs doing what I know I enjoy and can do. So I do both.
If you like my work, please take a look at my Facebook page and my website and if you're more inclinde to Instagram, I've been playing around there too..
