It was Notts Pride yesterday in Nottingham City Centre. There are some amazing outfits and people to photograph. At the bottom of Hockley I saw Maud talking to a group of friends. I asked Maud if I could take some photos and asked Maud to move away from the group to the disused shop frontage, so I had a blank canvas and no distracting elements.
Maud struck up some poses as I did some full length shots and head shots. No directing was required by myself other than to stand by the shop front.
I am sure you will agree that's Maud's outfit made it difficult for me not to ask for a photograph.
It was busy and noisy in Hockley and with so many people in the area the 4G signal was so poor, that it was difficult to exchange Instagram / social media handles.
Maud would have been a great addition to my strangers series but I didn't get a back story, I just got some great photos.
I think Maud is loving the attention…..such confidence & verve from Maud & you! Well done for asking & we benefit from your daring Pride photos. Thank you Phil for being the official Pride photographer. Those nails too!
