This picture is #13 in Round Two of my 100 Strangers / Human Family project.
About a month ago, I went out shooting with Pete, Neil and Sylvia in one of our favorite hunting grounds--Newtown. Everyone else had a fruitful day and Neil even captured Stranger #300! Yet somehow, I managed to come away empty handed.
Photography has been on a back-burner for a while and was only mildly holding my interest, but recently I've been keen to get back into it. So when last weekend gave me an opportunity to shoot with Neil in Melbourne, I had to jump in with both feet (even waking up at 5:30am to catch a flight down).
Neil and I were walking through Centre Pl when I spotted Lindsey. Everyone else seemed to be in a rush to avoid the cold, engrossed in their smart phone or caught up in the hustle and bustle of their morning that her calm demeanor really stood out. And the contrast between her dark clothing/hair and light complexion intrigued me enough to make the approach.
I was initially concerned about the lighting in the dark alleyway, but with a reflector in-hand I settled on a background. After firing off a test shot of Neil against my target background a couple promptly sat right in front of it. Fortunately, Neil suggested framing the shot against the stairway to Lustre Bar which was just beside their table. I really liked how the lights on the stairs would result in faint horizontal lines running through the background and was already envisioning the end product. As you can see, I didn’t exactly reproduce what I had initially imagined.
This is the first time in ages that I really struggled with exposure. The laneway was fairly dim, Lindsey was wearing dark clothes and I shot her against a very dark background, but her face was well lit with the reflector. The first couple frames were rubbish. Being quite out of practice, playing with manual exposure landed me at a much higher ISO than I would have liked (understatement), but I was conscious of maintaining my connection with Lindsey. In the end, I am surprised that the image still came out half-way decent at ISO 4000 (yes, that is three zeros…).
Before I interrupted her, Lindsey was grabbing a bite to eat on her way to work in Bourke St Mall. She immediately agreed to a portrait when I raised the question without even batting an eye which completely threw me off. Having an interest in food, she gave some restaurant recommendations for while I was in town.
In the end, I'm quite pleased with the final shot. It is a very different style for me, but that's part of why I am drawn to it. The best part is that I finally ended my stranger drought!
I hope you like how the image turned out, Lindsey! I'd be more than happy to shoot you a copy if you're keen. Thank you so much for participating in my project and re-igniting my interest in photography again.
Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated!
