Stranger #30: Elodie
This picture is #30 in my second 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

I spotted Elodie standing in the door way to Covent Garden tube station and headed over to give my pitch. She seemed friendly but asked me what for in heavily accented English so I explained more a little more slowly and she smiled and agreed right away. I was drawn to the bold colours that she was wearing and particularly her purple eye shadow which looked awesome.
I didn't stop to chat for long as I was fast loosing my family in the crowds as they never saw me divert for this one. Luckily Mrs Bomvu was wearing a bright jacket!
I was getting close to the limit for hand holding in this light but wanted to keep it at 100 ISO to preserve the lovely colours and thought there would be some nice shadows so I payed extra attention to my holding the camera and I think I just got away with it.
Elodie (I hope I've spelled this right) is from France and speaks better English than I speak French. Thanks so much for the picture!
If you're anywhere near London check out the 100 Strangers London Meetup discussion thread here.
Highly recommended.
Take a look at pictures from the last one here.
