This afternoon I had to head into town to do a few things, so I grabbed my camera to take with me in the hope I would have the courage yet again to approach someone that caught me eye for my project.
I saw a couple not far from where I'd parked my car.. while waiting for them both to finish what they were doing.. I played out my introduction in my head.. and grabbed out one of my business cards.
They started walking away from the shops so I quickened my pace to catch up with them...
As I got close enough, I politely called out to them "Excuse me... Hi Hello. I'm Kylie. I have a ridiculously unusual request to ask you.. I've started a personal project of photographing 100 Strangers.. to help me improve and strengthen on my social and technical photographic skills.. Please would it be ok if I photographed you both?".
The couple spoke with one another... and the guys partner told him she didn't want their photo taken... which was such a great disappointment.. this woman was stunning! Gorgeous brown skin, Afro corn braids all the way down to her back.. and he had dreadlocks.. most of which were hidden under his cap...
But then her partner turned to me..hesitantly agreed and said he would allow me to photograph him..
YAYEEEEEE.. I was adamant moments before i would have to chalk this one off as another rejection.
So below is my Stranger #4 :o)
If the couple who i photographed find this blog entry, and would like a copy of this image... please send me an email at admin@kyliebrandphotography.com :o) Thank you so much for allowing me to continue in this journey of mine!
