I met Megan along with two of her friends, Lochrann and Karya (see my previous two strangers) at the 2025 Beltane Pagan Market held in the Avenues of Sneinton Market, Nottingham. All three were keen to become part of my stranger project.
As the main Avenues were crowded, we move to an end one which was virtually deserted. It was also great that our location was in the shade and offered a choice of suitable backdrops. A dark grey door became an ideal background for Megan.
Megan is from Nottingham and is a student studying fine art. She also has a part-time job as a sales assistant.
Megan’s hobbies include producing linocut prints. Megan does other artwork too, usually of architecture or figurative subjects. Another past-time is making chainmail. This she does for herself but hopes to sell it to others in the future.
Megan runs a zine about Black Metal – find out more here: www.instagram.com/malevolentzine/
What one-word would Megan use to describe herself? “Mysterious,” she said, then added, “how I present myself and the real me are very different.”
Megan’s guilty pleasure is alcohol.
If I could grant Megan a wish what would it be? “To live in a castle,” she replied.
Thank-you Megan for saying yes to me photographing you for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
