100 Strangers : No. 221 : Extra Image Gabby, Nessa and Rosanna in Mono
This is an extra image from my 100 strangers project.
Students Gabby, Nessa and Rosanna were strangers number 221 and their story can be seen a few photos back in my photostream.
My original post was a colour photo in portrait mode. Followers will know I always like a good mono photo and could not resist posting a mono shot of the three young ladies.
The girls are striking different poses and the framing is almost square as opposed to landscape.
Mono works very well because of those strong patterns in the cloth, such great contrasts. I hope these three young ladies do well as they find their way in the world. Tough times to start out, but I am sure they will get there.
It was beautiful enough in colour but even better in mono. And you know I always go for colour versions. I don't seem to get the knack with mono photography, but I really like yours.
Looking through your photos, I really like this one in black-and-white. The combination of the three dresses- one white, one black, and one patterned dress really works well. And, I like the pattern on the gate behind them.
@fbailey thanks felicity , I do like my mono shots, I sent some images to Gabby and she loved them :)
