Street Portraitist

Spent an afternoon in the park taking pictures with the Street Portraitist and this was the happy result. It is always interesting to watch someone learn by doing it, figuring out what works and what they like as they go. I was also lucky he is really patient as it was one of the first times I have been in front of a camera like this and so it could have been nerve-wracking! Instead it was a really good day, at least until the chill winter air killed all enthusiasm for standing in a freezing park and we decided to go and occupy the nearest Thai restaurant. Their bold yellow wall inspired this final shot, which is one of my favourites – after all, if you’re going to take something over, it is vital to make sure there is a good food supply handy:
