Sultana Sandwich

So a couple of fridays back I took the day off work to photograph portraits of Sophie Paterson, a bar tender from one of my favourite pubs in London, the sun in splendour, Notting Hill. I first saw Sophie a couple years back when my mum told me to go along to an open mike night where one of our family friends was scheduled to play. Soph was on a bar stool, strumming her acoustic guitar singing to a packed crowd.

A couple months back Soph was asked to audition to the Australian Idol judges, who were on a scouting expedition here in London looking for expat talent, she made it through to the top 100 selected and last week she flew back to compete.

Today she skipped the second round and has gone straight to the third. Top 40. Good luck Soph!
