Promenade 1999

This shot always reminded me of a 1993 film called Bhaji on the Beach, where a group of South Asian women from differing backgrounds go on a daytrip to Blackpool. It always struck me as unusual that despite being in the Northwest, close to Manchester and the big cities I never saw that many black or Asian people using the town as a holiday destination, so I was pleased to get a shot of the lady in the traditional  Sari with a British tradition of fish & chips.

I used fill flash to give a combination of sharpness and blur to work with the background.
