The following three photos were taken as a series of 100 hundred strangers. This was a experiment into the looking at how we approach strangers and there reaction to being approached in the street. I was interested in the way in which we can ask a complete stranger to take our expensive camera when on holiday and take a photo of us with family and friends. I looked at this everyday situation of total trust and wanted explore this in a very simple way. These photos were all taken in one day and encompass this method. I brought a photographer friend with me and together we walked around Leeds approaching people and asking them if they would like to be part of a art work. There were various different reaction from being threatened that our camera would be smashed to being approached and asked if they could be part. Its amazing how different we all are.
