Ranju works as a receptionist and is almost always on the phone so I decided to take this image of her answering a call and using the phone as a prop.

Molina
Molina is a Bangladeshi woman, when I asked if I could take her photograph she initially refused but then reluctantly agreed but as I was taking the photograph she moved back cropping the top of her head in the image. I think it's definitely difficult getting Asian women to agree to photographs being taken of them, I found the same problem with other women that I asked.
Turkish Lady
This is one of the few people I asked in turkey for permission to take a photograph, although we were told that you can take photographs in public places, I wasn't quite sure about the rules and regulations in Turkey.
Outdoor images - Turkey
More images taken of people on the streets of Turkey, not really happy with these images as I feel that they don't really say much in terms of portraiture or culture so won't be using them.

Studio - Hadiqa
Studio shoot
Practice shots - studio shoot for a family member, it's so nice to be able to get a child to stand still for a few seconds whilst you take a photo and stop them touching the equipments but when you finally get the image and look at their mischievous smile you feel content and feel it's worthwhile.
Studio - Nadi - Final Image
This studio shoot was purely for promoting the work of a henna artist, the image has since been used on business cards, leaflets and a website.
I like this image, the colours and backgrounds just blend in with that of the clothing and the hair of the model and I feel that the image draws more attention to the eyes, makeup and henna work on the model.
bridal shoot - outdoor
Bridal Shoot
As I had already done a studio henna shoot I decided to do an outdoor bridal shoot to give the images more contrast, however, as they say the weather is unpredictable and half an hour into the shoot it started to rain. Again this work is aimed more at the commercial market.
