A couple more formal street portraits that I am really pleased wtih. These are formal because they have been taken with consent and the subject has posed for the picture (rather than it being a candid).

This is Lotus 78 John Player Special, the F1 car that competed in 1978 driven by Mario Andretti. It was one of the first F1 cars to focus on the underside aerodynamics and used skirts to create negative pressure that sucked the car into the road. It sits in the lobby of the office of a client of mine.
Andy the lady on the couch – sublime. Great light and wonderfully sensitive.

Actually my mother in law. She was widowed a few years ago and this scene was in my head before we took the shot. I thought it interesting where she chose to sit on the bench, which influenced the way I elected to composed and process it.

The son of a friend of mine – I was really happy with this one.

Not sure I’m ‘proud’ of this picture but I liked the light coming in through the window.
I had a really enjoyable day in London yesterday, focusing entirely on street portraits and trying to use on camera flash in a creative and flattering way.
I found a covered alley way just off Wardour Street that had a white ceiling and a stainless steel side pannel which worked so well for bouncing the flash around.
I got three that I’m really pleased with in this locatin, including one which while a random approach, turned out to be a model. Can you guess which one is the model?

One more of the girl above, close cropped. She was utterly gorgeous and completely lovely. I could not believe it when she told me she worked in ‘logistics’. I asked her friend if she looked like a womean who worked in logistics and she just laughed and so said ‘no she’s an artist in denial’.
