100 Strangers

"The journey of 1000 Strangers begins with a single photograph."

Jeffrey Perkins - "We often think we need to know the answers before we start: we're convinced that feeling fear means we're not ready.

"But if we show up with our curiousity and take those first, hardest steps, things unfold in their own way . . . "

About 100 strangers: Step out of your comfort zone to a new level of portrait photography. Start by taking 100 portraits of people you don't know.

The idea: The One Hundred Strangers project is a learning group for people who want to improve the social and technical skills needed for taking portraits of strangers and telling their stories. The method is learning by doing.

The project is lots of fun and improves photojournalistic skills. During the process you might expand your every day living experience - and who knows, maybe you will even get a couple of new friends during the process.

The challenge: Take 100 photographs of at least 100 people you don't know. Approach a person or group of people and ask for permission to both take a photo of them and to post it to this group. Get to know your subjects. Who are they? What is their life like?
