Marzia [Stranger #44]

This picture is #44 in the 100 Strangers Project - Round 3

 

Meet Marzia.

 

We were in Rome for a few days for a family vacation, and after a long day of sightseeing, stopped by to pick some food. Luckily, as always, the camera was in hand and when I saw Marzia in the distance thought it would be a great opportunity for a stranger portrait (especially with the beautiful evening light and her lovely vibrant attire and a terrific personality). As stranger photographers will attest - approaching a stranger even after doing it many times still be a huge challenge, especially being in foreign land, and with possible language barriers- so hesitated a bit before I decided to make my request. However, Marzia was an absolute pleasure to connect with - very friendly and with a happy attitude. Pretty conversant in English, she was also in a great mood as she was approved for a new job and was happy to be part of the pictures as a memory of the day. Hailing from Genoa, her current job is of a Municipal officer with accounting duties but she will now be working as a financial economic analyst for the customs agency. A beautiful lady indeed with amazing eyes, she was extremely comfortable with the camera, as you can see, despite the random pictures. She loves singing and travel as her hobbies. Her favorite quality of herself is being empathetic. Thank you for being a part of these pictures with so much enthusiasm Marzia- and for waiting more than the 5 minutes I requested It was indeed wonderful to make your acquaintance. Wish you all the very best for your future
