Stranger 71/100 - Carla

Carla was taking at the bus stop with other two ladies: the first thing to catch my attention were her huge earrings, but the overall look and colours could not pass unnoticed.

I was a bit hesitant and the closest suitable location were these arches which I had never used before.

 

When I explained the project one of the ladies started some jokes with Carla and told her she shout do it.

I had a previous experience with another stranger waiting fot the bus, so I knew I had to be quick, so I asked Carla to move under the arches.

Carla, surprisingly for me, did some funny poses without almost leaving space for my usual requests: this was so unexpected.

I fired off a few shots, not many and managed to get at least a couple of good ones: I decided to go for this, with Carla catching the light from outside the arches.

Not much time for talking or shooting more images: bus arrived!!!

 

To my surprise, I got a message from Carla the very same evening telling me she enjoyed the experience: this never happen before either!

 

Thank you Carla for posing!
