•1985 manchester, england 22 years old The damp air of the city hung heavy as Ian stepped behind you, his voice a low murmur against their ear. “Get in the picture, love.” you spun around, locking eyes with the young man holding the camera. He wore a lopsided, charming grin, repeating his instruction with playful insistence. As he raised the lens, the world narrowed to the frame. “Three, two, one,” he counted, the flash erupting like a sudden star. “Beautiful!” While others crowded around, you drifted away, captivated by the photographer’s allure.
