– Street Portrait (for and of Sarah), 2015 –
Sarah was minding her own business in the courtyard of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, when I walked up and asked for a portrait. I was immediately drawn to her – I loved the definiteness of her style. Sarah was great about me taking a few shots. This is the first and is my favourite. Thanks very much, Sarah! It was a pleasure to meet you. Hope you like your picture.

Great find
Yes, indeed – thanks very much, Sheldon – much appreciated.
Great work, Richard – very well captured… 🙂
Thanks very much, my friend!
Lovely curls.
Yes, indeed.
Lovely portrait, Richard. I like the coyness of the shot; there’s a certain delicacy to it.
Thanks very much, Richard – Sarah was great – she knew how she wanted to look.
wonderful – and great to have her looking down – love her hair and necklace the most –
Thanks very much, Yvette – yes, Sarah chose to do that – great look.
My garden, my blossoms of Spring.
Thanks very much, Barry. Lovely comment.
Cracking portrait
Thanks very much.
Love the photo. I am curious… did you ask her to look down?
Once I took a photo of a guy, and after a couple of shots, I told him not to smile (please). But he just couldn’t stop 😉 It was a fun experience.
Really glad you like it. No, I never ask people to do anything – they react how they want and I just frame them. Ha, ha, that sounds great – I’m quite addicted to taking street portraits – I’ve met some lovely people as a result. Thanks, Helen.
Beautiful, Richard, unusual perspective makes it extra special.
Thanks so much, Ellen – really glad you like it.
Lovely
Thanks so much, Alison. Sarah was great – she wanted to see the shots, so she’s OK with this one.
I love how soft this is..
Thanks very much, Cath – really glad you like it. Sarah was great and wanted to see the shots (which is quite unusual).

I like this one very much, Richard. She’s beautiful and the tones are too.
Yes, she is indeed – thanks very much, Ashley.
A classical beauty!
Yes, indeed!
Wonderful and I love how the attention is on her hair!
Thanks very much, Jennifer – Sarah chose the pose. It’s one of the fun things about taking the portraits – I never ask anyone to pose or look a particular way.
Great work – I see what you mean about ‘definiteness’!
Thanks very much, Mark! Yes, indeed!
Lovely and beautiful. Such a peaceful moment …
