Jo

This must be my flash of colour for the month, as this doesn't work in black and white, too busy
My get-pushed challenge from Lois Webb was environmental portrait. I was fretting over it until I realised it didn't have to be a stranger! Jo @josmith is my photography club buddy :) I frequently visit the garden centre where Jo works to scout out the bargains.
@so_lo_webb I did go back to the scrapyard today but the guy wasn't there and the workshop was all shut up. (phew! lol)

@josmith , this was the very first one I shot, when I wasn't really doing it yet, the posed ones weren't that hot! i get so flustered when I have a model lol

@kali66 I enjoyed being your model. Lol

I observed some of this guy's work:

Often wondered why I felt drawn to his "everyday" photos. Maybe the trick really is as simple as taking the photo when people are not expecting it.

Your friend looks nice here. I'd buy from her if she welcomed me with that smile. ^___^

I just love the sign on the right that says Instant colour - perfect for this!

Really makes me look forward to spring gardening!

You have a point! When we tell them we Are shooting they become too self conscious. What are my hands doing, my feet? My face?

Great image. Perfect example of an environmental portrait. I like the chaotic colours and Jo’s face peeking through the plants. Well done

You really captured her environment well and her portrait shows her to be perfectly at home in it!

Great colour, a smiling subject, and lovely reminders of spring everywhere!
