100 Strangers

he 100 Strangers project is a learning group intended for those wishing to improve both their social and technical skills needed for taking portraits of strangers and telling their stories.The challenge: Take at least 100 photographs of 100 people you don't know. Approach anyone or a group of people, ask for permission to both take a photo of them and to post it to this group. Get to know your stranger/s. Who are they? What is their life like? Step out of your comfort zone and into a new level of portrait photography. Start by taking 100 portraits of people you don't know, total strangers.

This photo number 5 in my 100 Strangers project. Pam has a stall selling tea at Grantham market and kindly agreed to being photographed. She used to own a Tea shop in Grantham high street with her partner but gave that up and is selling the stock off. I feel that the composition says much about Pam rather than a straight portrait. This picture is #05 in my 100 strangers project.
