Posed street portrait taken in Glasgow, Scotland, for my 100 Strangers project.

I was feeling full of confidence, well almost full, after breaking my 'stranger drought' and was loitering on the street corner enjoying the rhythmic samba/jazz tunes of a street band when I noticed Jasmine come along and start filming them on her mobile phone. I noticed that she, as I, could barely resist swinging hips in time to the beat and I took a cheeky candid shot of her. After she stopped filming I approached Jasmine and asked her if she would be happy for me to take a portrait of her, she was immediately happy to and I gestured her to one side (away from the noise) to explain the strangers project to her.

I then selected another spot to shoot and she happily agreed to relocate with me and we chatted a little while doing so. Jasmine told me she was in town to enjoy a little bit of shopping after a night out in Glasgow the previous day. She lives in Glasgow and was an absolute pleasure to work with, however briefly, and as you can see from the shot she was very relaxed in front of the lens.
I had intended to ask her about her Frida Kahlo earrings but got a little caught up with making sure I got some great shots and I completely forgot to mention it.

Taken on shutter priority with mounted flashgun at 100 ISO and a diffuser attached. I opted to use this shot, with Jasmine looking off camera and breaking into a gentle laugh, for my official shot as it represents the fun and relaxed nature that I felt flowed from her personality.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you Jasmine and thank you for taking time to be a part of my 100 Strangers project. You have my contact card so simply email if you would like a copy of the shots, I would be most happy to send them to you.
