#stylishstrangers

This is my final canvas for stylish strangers. This is a brief I surprisingly really struggled with, I thought it would be quite easy but once you are out looking for people to take photo’s of it can be quite hard/daunting. I was turned down by a few people due to them being in a rush and not wanting to. I’m glad I finally got it done though and if I was to shoot this again I’d definitely just go for it and not be so scared - and not spend so much time on it! Most people were really lovely and up for it but once you get a few knock-backs it puts you down a bit. It was still a really fun task to do though! 

If I was to reshoot this project id definitely go into it with a whole lot more confidence, this would allow me to be more confident in asking strangers to pose a certain way. Furthermore, it would definitely give me more images to pay with. 

I am going to go for the last four images in the set above as my finals. The image of the woman in the red hat stands out a lot more from the rest of the images as the background is different from the stone backgrounds of the other three finals which may take away from the cohesion, but I still think as an individual image it is one of my strongest.

These are the images taken from my first venture in this project. Initially, I found this daunting. On this day, I found I was being timid and not pushing myself out of my comfort zone enough, I was subconsciously choosing people sitting down because I would not have to give them much direction. However, this meant you cannot see their full outfit. I still think that images were successful; the subject stands out from the background, there is plenty of character and we can still see that these individuals have a distinct style.
