I’ve always been fascinated by photography, particularly in portraits. I am inspired by Brandon Stanton’s photo blog “Humans of New York” and I decided to pick up photography using my mother’s unused Nikon 60D. Mostly because I have a passion for people, technology and art so why not pick up a hobby that combines the three! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that I am a photographer. In fact, I barely know anything about photography. I am using this project to practice and learn more about photography as well as learn more about people. I decided to take up the project of photographing 100 strangers and what better place than Stony Brook University, the campus I attend every day. After the first day I realized that photographing strangers is well… strange! It was also incredibly exciting and left me filled with adrenaline after each portrait. There’s something about taking a candid photo of someone you don’t know that feels incredible.
