PROJECT – 102 Strangers

Announcement:
Because of the current Covid situation I have decided to pause this project until the situation gets better.

The reason why I chose to start this project was mainly to shake off my shyness and to get used to being rejected. Moreover, I love people and this is a way to meet some, usually it is also an opportunity for a small talk.

Diana was the first „stranger“ whom I have approached. I loved her hairstyle. Although she was not totally happy of the idea of being portraited, she agreed and gave me a warm smile. Big thanks to Diana for being my number #01 and making my day.

I did not expect him to say yes, so his yes was a great surprise. He taught me not to underestimate anyone.

Mimi was a cute girl whom I have approached thinking she is definately not a local. After a few questions she explained she was born here. Funny, we have been speaking English while we could speak Czech. I loved how natural her behavior was and her cute dog

Well this portrait is different, but it is a part of the project so it deserves it’s place here. I have asked her for her approval as the others, she agreed. Pigeons too.

This was kinda special. I do this project to overcome my shyness and to get out from my comfort zone. Eddie agreed with the portrait and later explained he said yes although he was really shy just to step out from his comfort zone. We both were happy afterwards as we both stepped out.

This day I went out with a feeling „today it will be easy!“ After all the nice people I have met yesterday, I thought approaching strangers will become an easy thing. I was wrong. It is still hard. I approached Richard quite soon (within minutes) but then I had spent more than 1 hour hesitating.

Sun had found it’s way throught the clouds which made a beautiful golden light. Unfortunately it was too bright for the portrait. There was no shade around so I took the picture no matter the light. Klára seemed like a very warm and friendly person.
