Red hair again

Eyes of glass
I have been working with Anna again, this time she dyed her hair red, and the shoot was outdoors around the Northern Quarter, a fantastic photographic playground.

We encountered a lot of derelict and decaying buildings, walls and oddities, like that filthy bearded mannequin head that we found on a chair, on a wild car park, or the old milk float, rubbles, rubbish and lots of empty alcohool bottles.
The shoot was very fruitful and inspiring and sprouted further ideas for future work.
A good rapport with a model decuples the opportunities during the shoots, and working several times with a model allows further exploration of ideas.
I worked with the available light as we were lucky enough to get a soft winter sun; to me, the world around us will always be the best studio...
