M, first formal portrait, Chipstead 1970

As requested, a selective enlargement of this photo I posted 8 years ago. I was the first posed photo I took of Marie soon after we met, taken on a winter day by the lake at Chipstead, shortly after the first one in this set. I said it would be nice to take a photo of her in the misty setting but she didn't feel it would look right wearing jeans and my old jumper. She said she had just been shopping and bought a new dress and shoes for a party and she ran back to the car and quickly changed for the photo.

She was quite selfconscious about having her photo taken in a planned way – the few previous shots I had taken had been just snaps in spontaneous moments, and they hadn't been printed yet so she did not know how they were going to turn out. I thought she looked amazingly glamorous and sophisticated (especially compared with me) – and the serious look was quite fashionable at the time. I was surprised and very impressed, when we returned to the car, to find that she had left off her underwear to avoid spoiling the smooth lines of the dress.

Interestingly, the sophisticated look of the time (we were probably listening to Leonard Cohen on the radio) now looks quite dated – she was only 18 or 19 but appears quite mature – she looked much younger in the more relaxed style of our photos taken over the next years – e.g. in this one six months later...
