OUR APPRE NTI CE says…

I know from my own street photography that luck plays its part, but I also know that to get lucky you have to have your camera with you, and be on the look out for possible subjects. In the case of our first Hot Shot we’d only been shooting for 10 minutes when this rather dapper gent wandered past, and then stopped to pose when he realised we were taking photos! I love the graphic simplicity of this shot, and the dramatic side-lighting, but it’s the bright blue of the background, and the fact that this colour is echoed in the rather incongruous plastic bag, that makes it. Oh, and I love the splash of red in his shoes!
