100 Strangers : Round 4 : No. 368 : Jack and Yazmin
I took Elsie for an urban walk into Nottingham city centre this afternoon. As we walked through the Nottingham Trent University “City Campus” I noticed two young people handing out cans of Red Bull. Primarily to students, but members of the general public were grabbing some too. I went over to ask for my free can, but Yaz told me “I’m sorry, I’ve just handed out the last can” She lifted the lid of the container in the “Red Bull Car” (you know the one’s , they have a big can of Red Bull across the chassis body and they are painted in Red Bull colours.
“I can offer you a Red Bull magazine”
“Is it a good read?” I ask.
“It’s got an article about cricket”
I looked on the front cover and it had England cricketer Ben Stokes.
I took a copy of “The Red Bulletin” off Yaz.
I told her I was an amateur photographer doing a project on street photography and asked if I could photograph her. Yaz was handing out the freebies with Jack and he asked to be included in the photo too.
Yaz and Jack have just graduated in Marketing from the Uni and the Red Bull promotion was a part time job for them both.
Yaz and Jack live together but are not a couple. They both have jobs lined up after the summer. Yaz will be working for a marketing company based in London who specialise in marketing for Architecture clients. Jack also had a job in London for a different company.
The sun was just breaking through so it was a tricky shoot to do in the bright light. I hope you like the photos of Jack and Yaz. I wished them both good luck with their chosen careers and shook their hands.
Two happy youngsters that you have captured very handsomely. You do find so many varied subjects for your project. Elsie is a good accomplice to help you trap your subjects.
