Street portrait from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of one of my early '100 Strangers' portraits taken in March 2014.
Captured with my old Canon 400D, Sigma 17-50mm lens and hot shoe mounted Speedlite, Shelly was number 16 in my 100 Strangers portrait project.
The colour variation of this portrait that I uploaded to Flickr way back in 2014 has toured the world as part of the Atlas of Humanity exhibition, displayed at major photography expos such as Photokina along with another of my 100 Strangers portraits of Naziyah.
This shot was edited solely in Lightroom. Her skin was flawless and the new tools in LR were perfectly able to remove a loose strand of hair from across her face.
Enjoy!

Profile portrait of Archie surveying some of his territory and ensuring it is safe.
When he first had the outside world to explore he was bold and hopped over fences until we heard an almighty ruckus and Archie flew over the fence having received a pierced ear. Poor Archie has not ventured outside of the garden since and cowers whenever a neighbouring cat comes into the garden.
He does, however, seem to be enamoured by one cat that very occasionally appears in the neighbours garden. An intact male that we call Barry, which may or may not be his name, and Archie spends time every day looking through the fence to see if Barry is there. It is a fine 'bromance' indeed.
I had to pick up my camera at least once in February on my path to rekindling my relationship with photography and this is the result. Photography twice in two months might not sound like much but it is a massive improvement on where I was last year. Archie may have some form of kitty trauma but my PTSD is complex and a difficult hurdle to overcome. Baby steps.
Thank you all so much for your love and support throughout this difficult battle to reclaim my life from trauma.
Best wishes.

Previously unpublished street portrait from London, England, captured in February 2019.
My own selection and black and white edit of a street portrait captured during a shoot for an advertising campaign. Shots were captured while under interview to 'candidly' capture natural emotions and under specific technical remit. Lit with natural light and a reflector held by an assistant member of the team. Enjoy!

A previously unpublished shot from the early days in my '100 Stranger' project.
Captured on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland, with my old Canon 400D in February 2014, this marks the 1000th previously unpublished shot from my archives since the pandemic began and since I have been too unwell to capture new street shots. Quite the milestone and a testament to how many 'keepers' I captured while out and about.
I give my warmest thanks to each and every one of you for continuing to follow and support my work. You are all awesome.
Enjoy.

Street portrait from Glasgow, Scotland.
Black and white re-edit of a street portrait of Vaneska captured for my '100 Strangers' project.
Vaneska was number 48 in the series and it was a candid shot of her that lead into a brief conversation and her agreeing to pose for a brief portrait session.
I had not long upgraded from my 7D to a 5D Mk III and remember noticing how much more capable the camera was in the low light conditions of Glasgow in the depths of winter. Thank you all for your awesome favourites, comments and support. Enjoy!
