I took a trip into nearby Guildford today for some people shots. Being a university town and just before Easter I thought I might get more than just shoppers. I had barely arrived when I saw this person sitting on a bench. Wary whether to photograph or not, I decided to approach them and ask for permission, which was granted with ease.

I was then nabbed by some Market Research people, which resulted in me telling them how I wasn’t at all interested in any promotions offered when buying McCain’s Oven Ready Chips. In the end, the market researcher began to answer the questions herself – I was that predictable! Anyway, 20 minutes work paid for my train ticket and next photo magazine.

I then went on to shoot a few more photos in the afternoon which you will find in my Candids gallery.


I was very pleased my subject agreed to the photo being taken. Please don’t be too cruel in your remarks.
