My recent project work has included many portraits of people with  challenging lives in difficult circumstances.....which can be rewarding, but also an emotional drain and ever present reminder of  it is there but for the grace of an non existent deity go I.

After one such session I realised I needed was a visual palette cleanser; to produce a happier, younger and more vibrant portrait. What I needed was to find someone a visual million miles away from what I'd witnessed and restore some faith in youth and the future...and quickly. 

And low and behold, from a door way from a pub she was presented like a prayer had been answered from the same non existent deity. 

Both the colour and back and white have their own distinctive feel and I can't say which one I like more, so I thought what the hell, have both.

Till next time...
