In the pink

by davidtrout

I went back to my favourite 'backdrop' wall in Newcastle for some serious lurking. My method of street photgraphy is to find a stage set and wait for the actors to walk on.

I like this a lot, especially as she even carried that pink bag, just for you. Nice touch.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

A most striking image and perfect in it's simple but highly skilled and effective composition, exemplary shot.

Like it a lot. Interesting to read about your approach too- Like the idea of the stage and the actors- I think I will give it a go myself find a backdrop then wait!
