Blue eyes
by davidtrout
I shot this in April at the Whitby Goths Festival. A great day out for photographers with superb costumes and make up.
Yes I did enhance her blue eyes in Photoshop, and also brought up the red a little in her lips and ring.

When you cover an event like the Goth's Festival the subjects are up for photos. They get dressed up to parade through the streets of Whitby where there are many photographers snapping away. You just walk up to them and ask if you can take their pictures. Most of them are more than happy to oblige. You will gain confidence the more you do this type of photography. It's better to approach the subject and enagage them in conversation than to take sneaky shots which might well embarass or upset them. Its easy for me to approach people, I'm used to it. I used to be a newspaper man, reporter not photographer.
