I think most photographers have the work of the old master shooters firmly imprinted in their minds. Lisette Model was a photographer who’s simplicity of style appealed to me and some of her images of the backs of subjects have become icons.
I was wandering around Fremantle today and came across these two exuding inimitable style in the West End.

Chris, Wedgy indeed! I’d actually noticed these two walking down the road, hand in hand, and missed the shot. Rather fortuitously they stopped, as you see them here. Immediately afterwards I saw the lady in the doorway, just over the road.
