Nurse of Pain
This was taken at one of my last visits to the Whitby Goth Weekend as a photographer.
At the top of the steps to the church there is a nice place to sit and you can catch people in quite natural poses as they get to the top of the climb rather than all the staged poses that are available throughout the town.
This woman seemed to breeze up the steps and pause for a moment waiting for her struggling companions, and I was really pleased with the photograph.
but what I wasn’t really pleased with was the pack of male photographers hounding young women to get the perfect shot, I felt tainted by what I saw that year and haven’t returned as a photographer, just as someone who enjoys the spectacle.
