I went on a trip to London and these images were taken in Covent Garden of some of the people that work on the market stalls and just generally 'hang around' in the area.
This man works on the brick a brack stall, I approached him asking for his picture and he was very apprehensive at first. In total I took about 6 photos of him to get the right image and this one I turned black and white in photoshop. I think it shows him in a very good light however he still seems very nervous.
This lady was fundraising for NSPCC outside the Marks and Spencer's. She again didn't really want her picture taken so I made a hefty donation of 50p and she accepted my proposition. She has got into character in the image and she looks very enthusiastic.
This image is one of my favourites and was the hardest to take. Many people were flocking around to see the cat do it's 'tricks' so many people got in the way of initial pictures however after some pushing in front I caught his attention and he freely gave me an image. This picture does outline some of the poverty around the area as this man was begging for money but he fully got into the Christmas spirit and told me about his 'twitter page'. I have edited this image in a number of different ways to get the full spirit but also emotion behind it. I changed it to black and white and for this image I changed the contrasted and also used the curve tool on photoshop to accentuate some of the red.
This lady ran a teddy bear stall. She was very up for having her picture taken but only with her teddies.
This was a completely random image, I was walking past the Starbucks and saw this man in the window, he was looking out and then started waving and luckily I captured this quickly!! The style of the image is very amusing and the smile on the mans face creates a pleasant feel to the image however the concentration on the face of the man sitting slightly behind does give a sense of detatchment in the iamges.

This image was taken on the walk to Covent Garden. I first started taking pictures and was going to take one of my friend however she turned away too quickly for me to get an image of her. I think the effect of the hair 'whipping' adds movement to the photo. It also creates a sense of the pace that is London.
