They were all strangers at some point — Mickey who makes a good living impersonating Ben Franklin; Rocky who was part of a 24-hour vigil outside the White House; Andrew who was on a coffee bike crawl around the city; and about 30 random people I encountered.
I’m one-third of the way through my 100 Strangers project, which seemed like a good time to talk about the whole street portrait genre.
If you’ve ever wondered about street portraits, I’ll share what I’ve learned so far. You’ll learn:
How I decide who to approach; How I get them to relax quickly; The two questions that get my subjects to open up; The tools I use to capture and create my posts; and Who is off limits vs. who is fair game.
