Hillside Cafe on the A47 was a great place to photograph. It was full of F1 memorabilia and art works, and the couple who owned and ran it were really friendly. I chatted to them for a while, and as a result was much more confident when it came to asking for their photo.
The next Cafe was also on the A47, and the owner was also more than happy to let me photograph inside and take a portrait. I was chatting to him and two regulars who were having breakfast, and they made me realise it was the right idea to take the project away from the motorways and into smaller cafes; I would never get the photos I have been or meet the characters I have if I hadn't done so.
The final Cafe I visted that on this shoot was Jakes who again was happy to let me take a few photos. I am really happy with the portrait of Jake, and I think that is the style of portrait I will try and use for the remaining cafes I will visit, rather than the more candid style I have used so far.
This shoot was so much more successful, I feel I have produced some more usable portraits than previous shoots.
