This is my second stranger from the the Nottingham EmCon Cosplay event.
Meet Paula
Paula is playing Naruto Uzumaki, a fictional character in the anime and manga Naruto, Created by Masashi Kishimoto. Naruto is a teen ninja from the fictional village of Konohagakure.
Paula has done many Cosplay characters and when not in character, she is studying Aerospace Engineering at Nottingham University
The yellow background is a Fast Food Van (selling toasties), It was one of only a few shady places on a hot sunny morning. Some of the yellow is reflecting light back, but I think that adds to the urban feel of a ninja.
Paula was very popular, just before I asked her for a photo a young lad asked if he could have a selfie with her.
Oh and I was wondering why I got no catchlight's in Paula's eyes and then I realised she is wearing coloured contact lenses to be in character !

Very striking photo Phil, I wouldn't have noticed that about the eyes but you are much more experienced than me with portraits. Amazing transformation, love that hair!
