Portraits in front of the monster wall

The monster is pink, three metres tall and grinning, and nearly everyone who walks past stops to take a picture with it. I spent an afternoon asking them if I could take one instead.

The best portraits came from people who had clearly done this before: they knew where the light fell, which step to sit on and how to tilt their head so the monster seemed to be looking over their shoulder. Dimitri, here, has been sitting on that step since he was nine.
