Stranger No2 by pcoulson

Stranger No2

Another stranger in my Friday people challenge
Pam was one of the dancers in a 1940's swing dance group demonstrating the dances of the 1940's i.e. Jitterbug, Jive, Swing and one called the Boogie-woogie !!!, I asked to take her photograph between dances said agreed only if I would remove her wrinkles in Photoshop, I told her not a chance they are laughter lines and she looked lovely with them.
I love this shot, and the hat. Wish we would go back to this classy style again.

@miata2u Thank you for your lovely comments Peggy, Pam told me she had adapted a modern hat to look like a 1940's style and had knitted the jumper to suit the period, must say all the ladies did look elegant in their 40's outfits:)

I think you have captured the essence of Pam. I also think you were very brave re the 'wrinkles'!!

@pcoulson

I took a photo in my strangers project & when I started to find some info on my 'victim' he told me he was a photography teacher - one of the tips he then gave me was to have the subject look slightly to one side, not face on for the shot.

Coming back to see this again, it' s a fav....

@quietpurplehaze Thank you very much for the fav, I was always told to pose subjects the way that suits the persons features or personality, just didn't have a clue what that meant until now:)

One aspect of 365 which I love is the continuous learning curve.
