I feel the "Touching strangers"Project is really quite great. It is not about taking pictures of people who already have a connection, Or To show a kind of Person. This project simply is showing contact between complete strangers the photographer grabbed from the streets. It is a great idea to try conducting a physical connection between two people whom have never met or came in contact with each other before and try to branch them out to others and open them up.
I think if a photographer was t approach me asking me to "touch a stranger" I believe i would. Because being able to be involved in something so strange to some people who do not quite get the point in it. I believe It is an amazing idea and i would participate in a heart beat if i had the chance.
A photo shoot where You grabbed two people whom look or seem like polar opposites or not the kind of people to ever be around each other, and get them to interact and peripatetic in a photo shoot together without anything more then a few moments to know who the other is. Seeing how two people would interact who seemingly never would if not for the situation seems like a very interesting shoot idea.
Lastly I think the photography was pretty good, it was not fantastic but above mediocre. The people though that where captured in the photo was what was really outstanding. The models where the focus more then anything else of course, not the photo itself, but the symbolism in it and the idea from it you are given.
