portraits in mono: Sylv

I miss my portraiture work with strangers; I also miss being out with friends and able to take their portraits. I don't complain as I am aware that Co-vid restrictions are necessary. Instead, I am indulging in a series of conversions into mono of existing colour portraits.

Sylv and I are used to having a pub lunch out together. On this occasion I asked her to change places with me so that I could get a photo of her with an uncluttered background.

We've known each other for nearly 20 years. Here's looking forward to that next pub lunch.

I think it’s a great project to do while Covid keeps you from taking new portraits.

Re-exploring past work with new eyes and techniques, what a excellent sanity tool.

Good idea to change seats...and you got such good catch lights...it works well in b&w.

lovely portrait, hope your Covid restrictions ease soon.
I have only just discovered that you haven't had quarantine for people entering the UK until recently, no wonder you have had so many cases. Everyone coming into Australia has to go in hotel quarantine for 14 days and they are tested twice during that time. My daughter returned in November and spent two weeks quarantine in the Northern Territory before being flown to Melbourne.
