Elayna - a photo on Flickriver

Elayna

One my favorite shops in Newtown to stop and browse in (and check out who is manning the counter) is Faster Pussycat. Primarily the store sells all types of custom culture from the 40s, 50s and 60s such as books, clothing, shoes and accessories. You can rest assured that there is always something interesting to see and/or meet.

Today was attempt number 2 at making Elayna's portrait (who works part-time at FP) as my first crack at it was a complete fail after I chose a horrendous background that served no one.
So this time when we met again lady luck was on my side as she wasn't working which meant I could find a background with a little more appeal.

Now Elayna made it quite clear she absolutely hates having her photo taken and she struggled to relax in front of the
camera, but I was determined to get something we would both be pleased with.

I really liked her 50s style pink head scarf and her overall fashion sense. As it turns out Elayna is a fashion designer and has trained and worked with some of the big names in Europe and is currently working for Uscari and Socialight.

She has a great sense of humour and is very honest about her self and life.

Thanks for being part of the Human Family project and I hope you like the portrait even though it was an unpleasant experience.

This is portrait #07 in my Human Family project.
