Leith Portrait Series

  • Zoe McArthur
This shoot is based on street style, but a more in depth take on it, all the models used are men who have lived on the same street their whole lives and how this effects there identity.

The portrait of each of them showcases how where you live becomes part of your identity. These men all talk about how this street – The Quilts – has shaped the people they are, whom they spend their time with and where they have headed in life. All of the men photographed were chosen because they all live a similar lifestyles and is photographed on the street they live on.

The shoot was greatly inspired by the stories of the men in the photographs, the street they live on and the lives they lead. Each portrait gives an insight into the man in the portrait and giving the viewer a look into their identity.
