I designed this project to challenge myself. It is made up of two things I do not normally do: portrait photography and approaching strangers. The idea was to examine the experience of connecting with strangers and how even a brief conversation can change the way you see each other. I superimposed a quote from our conversation to give the viewer a glimpse into these individual's lives. While we had loose, unplanned conversations, I always asked how they would introduce themselves to a stranger and what makes them smile.

Thank you to all the strangers willing to work with me on this project.
