a girl in France


I created these photos of my student, LeAnn Fox, in Amboise, France. Her friends were shopping and she was bored with it. She came outside and waited with me. After six days of me photographing their every movement, it was difficult to find real expressions on the girls' faces. I shot these without looking in the viewfinder. LeAnn's look was so evocative, but I didn't want her to know I was shooting. The image above came when she heard the shutter. I first called it "femme dans la rue" after the woman walking up the street. But I have named it after the words on the left in the image, "chaussures vous vont si bien".

The image below is simply, "fille dans la rue."
