Touching Strangers
1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?I think that this project was interesting because most people dont feel comfortable posing and touching another person they dont know. It was extremely interesting to see how the strangers decided to pose with each other and where on the other persons body they decided to touch.
2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?
If someone approached me and asked me to take a picture touching a stranger I would probably do it but I would be uncomfortable. Whenever i interact with new people im always cautious because you don't know what some people are capable of.
3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.Another unusual photo shoot that i would think is fun would be to have little kids stand around in a circle and find a place to touch eachother. Little kids aren't as timid as adults are, they are willing to do anything you ask them too.
4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take?
The photographer took very simple photos. He mainly used simplicity to keep your attention on the people in the photos instead of something else in the background.
