Katinka English, An Reluctant Model (PEOPLE 2022)

I had just brought my first camera a few weeks before this photo was taken. I asked a workmate to meet up so I could practice taking portrait photos. She was nervous because she didn't think she was photogenic. I booked a studio for a few hours. This photo was taken at the last minute right before we left. The staircase was at the back of the underground carpark. Nikon Z5 - 55mm, f/11, 1/250sec, ISO 640.
