It took three weeks, but I finally shot my first street portrait of the year yesterday. This is Rontti. I spotted her in Handen. She had a bit of a yin &yang thing going I think. And clearly a unique style and that is often one of the things I am looking for in a portrait. Rontti is studying Aesthetics at the Fredrika Bremer secondary school, and enjoys painting. I figured her for someone that would listen to rock, but she said she was more in to techno music. It is always fun when you can connect people, and it turns out that one of her best friend is The Pink Pop Punk Girl that I met last summer.
Very cool portrait.
ReplyDeleteExcellent portrait! Rontti certainly has a very unique and eclectic style, good on her! I must say I've missed your portrait shots Steffe.
ReplyDeleteI really like the monochrome of the first shot. Great portrait as always.
ReplyDeleteIt is good seeing your portraits again.
ReplyDeletedeux belles photos, mais j'aime ce blanc sur la premiere
ReplyDeleteThis girl cannot possibly be warm enough in this outfit.
ReplyDeleteExcellent portrait of a very interesting lady. I think the black and white portrait is absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteExcellent portrait! I think my next photo project will be to photograph a different stranger every day for year.
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer the cropped B&W image the best. Both are great portraits though.
ReplyDeleteShe looks a real individual who knows her mind and her style. Lovely that you had met and featured one of her friends before too. These portrait featires of yours are very special Steffe.
ReplyDeleteChrissy at Manchester: a photo a day at Mancunian Wave
definitely worth the wait...i particularly love the expression in the b&w image.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Gypsy style. Good to see you grabbed a winter portrait - alwys interesting.
ReplyDeleteUn estilo muy personal¡¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I figured a B&W portrait would work with the Yin &Yang feel that I got from Rontti.
ReplyDeleteSpot on Oakland She was freezing, but hopefully being photographed by me warmed her up a bit!
That sounds like a challenge Andy!
i like her trousers...!
ReplyDeleteand the black and white is really funny!
