I was lucky enough to get Steff into a studio session at the same time as Matt, which turned out highly successful. Steff brought two items with her, the first a teddy bear which I do not know the full story behind and the second a letter, which she carries everywhere in her purse, from a friend who passed away shortly after writing the letter. Whilst we had some fun shooting the images with the teddy in, I particularly wanted to get a really good image of the letter, knowing its importance to Steff.
I am particularly pleased with how the image with the letter turned out, capturing a personal moment, looking over the shoulder and onto the letter, drawing all attention exactly where it needs to be. Even though the letter itself is in focus I did not want to go too close to it, wanting not to intrude that far into something that means so much to someone.
Whilst I also like the other images, the letter has to be by far my favourite of this shoot and of all my images that I have taken so far for this project. I can only hope that the next photoshoots get such positive results.
