I noticed Meg, her friendly face and striking red hair walking along near to the Barbican and couldn't resist asking to make her portrait. As it was a spur of the moment decision to ask, I had to quickly find a background for her portrait. I thought this nearby doorway complimented Meg's hair colour perfectly.
Meg lives and works in London and was just out for the day for a wander around in the sunshine.
"I'm a full time receptionist but I dream of being an actress. I need to work full time to pay the bills whilst I look for acting work."
I asked Meg if she had a motto or ethos in life.
"Dont assume.....there is so much you don't know in the world."
Thank you Meg and good luck.

I noticed Martine working within a hair salon whilst I walked past near Liverpool Street Station. Just beyond the salon, I found a background that I wished to use and decided to chance it and ask Martine if i could make her portrait as the salon didn't appear too busy.
Martine lives in Kent but works in London for Toni & Guy Hairdressers.
"If I'd known I was having my portrait taken I would've done my hair!"
I asked Martine what makes her happy?
"Good food and my dog make me happy."
"I left school at 16 and trained as a florist but was offered a temporary job with Toni & Guy and have been there for 21 years." Martine told me with a smile.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
"I would tell my younger self not to worry about things......my appearance, what I ate, what others thought of me...."
Thanks Martine

Just along from where I made Martine's portrait [Stranger 231] were these stairs which i thought would make a good background as a departure from my usual choice.
At that moment, Jordan and Jess came walking along and i thought Jordan would make the perfect stranger against this background with his cool styling.
Jordan and his girlfriend Jess were up visiting London from Buckinghamshire for a shopping trip. Jess had just came from her exhibition in Brick Lane for her fashion design. Jordan was then treating Jess on a shopping trip to Selfridges.
What makes you happy?
"Jess does!" said Jordan with a smile and a wink.
"Cute!" said Jess.
Thank you Jordan and Jess for holding the reflector.
