100 Strangers: 202 Monica (Explored)

Place check out my feed for alternative portraits of Monica

After a long day of being out and about in Soho we decided it was time for some food but not before doing a 15 minute search for a stranger to take a portrait of.

As is always the case, I saw Monica (with her friends) but no suitable backdrop. They took a turn of one of the side roads, and knowing the area so well, I knew where they would end up. I said to my wife that if we see them around the corner then I have to ask, back drop or no back drop.

We saw them again and so I kept to my work and asked her for a portrait and her eyes lit up.

Turns out Monica is a casting director and had also modelled for a brand called Cubitts which was the brand of glasses that she was wearing.

After a few shots I thanked them for their time and let them get on there way for there evening plans which was for dinner and a play.

I can't remember if she said that we lit up her day but she definitely lit up ours.

Thanks very much for this portrait. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the
