Ben Helmer Photography

(43/100 Strangers) (600/365) I noticed the details of Edward's outfit, and knew I needed to talk to him. He works in fashion for a relatively famous designer, and I found him on the Highline. While we only spoke for a minute, he did mention he is from Rego Park, in Queens. Thanks for taking the time, Edward! -- From a technical perspective, the Highline was pretty crowded here, and in an area with a lot of shade. As I wasn't within a few feet of any light, I didn't want to move him too far from where we met, so I found myself stuck with flat colors. Not much I can do, although I think a less dynamic background would have been a better choice. --
