Looking to do Something different - 100 Strangers.

Here is a real challenge which could set you apart like 365 photos project won't - we've all done that!

To me this is a terrifying project and at the time was certainly something different that attracted attention. Interestingly the photographer, David posted just recently
I was lucky enough to get featured in the January edition of Digital SLR Photography magazine for my 100 Strangers project. It's crowned the #1 project to get your 2015 year started in photography, for those searching for new ideas. Now I just need to get back out there and find some more strangers for you all!
I'll carry on my search although there are really great portraits in there.

Looking to do Something Different I - Portraits & Issues

This is going to be a series of posts where I link to new ideas I have come across while using the internet to inspire me in my quest to develop a unique offering for my photography.
The objective being to encourage the thinking process and hopefuly to generate new ideas, that lead to the opportunity to differentiate what you are doing so you don't get lost in the flood of digital images.

The first in the series is an approach to brining more of an understanding to a portrait through the integration of the portrait of a council member with an image of an issue the councellor identifies as defining their activity in the council.

Apparently these images were produced in camera and not with editing. This must be some undertaking and I wonder whether its really worthwhile. To me it doesn't seem to work that well with landscape images having to be vertically orientated.
