This portrait was taken when I was experimenting with angles and focus using my Pentax ME 35mm film camera. The image isn’t completely in focus and this results in the soft blurred effect the portrait has. I feel this gave the image a stronger overall finish and the angle makes the composition of the picture quite striking. I caught my subject off guard during a quiet natural moment. I prefer these candid photographs in some ways as they are truly natural and can be the most powerful and personal portraits. The film was cross processed in E6 chemicals instead of C41 which gives the image warm colours and rich tones.
