A spontaneous street portrait from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Colour graded re-edit of a shot captured during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017. I failed in my candid portrait attempt but got such a fabulous spontaneous smile that it remains one of my favourite shots from the last few years.

Of course, this image works wonderfully in black and white. but for a colour edit I opted to crop square in order to remove a couple of distracting background colours - it felt like the better option than editing or fading those colours out. Enjoy!

Taken in: UK / Scotland / Edinburgh (show map)

Taken on: August 13, 2017
