"Don't be contrived."... interview with STEPHEN MCLEOD BLYTHE.

Stephen is talented 22 years old photographer from Glasgow, Scotland.



1Q) Can you please tell us the story behind this portrait? How you took it and why you choose to shoot this person?
You've picked a strange picture to feature.. It's not one of my best, and was taken in circumstances that are pretty out of the norm for the way I usually do things. 

The shots from this series were done as a favour for a friend of a friend. It's always a bad idea to do such a thing, but I was in a spell where I was looking for people to volunteer to have my lens pointed on them, so it didn't make sense to turn it down. The premise was simply to get photos of different makeup/fashion styles for their folio or something similar.
