Stranger Portraits


  • Photographer
    Avi Yap
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

This is a project in which I approached strangers on the street and ask to shoot their portraits. I've started this project in an attempt to use photography as a language. Talking to a stranger is something that most people wouldn't do unless absolutely necessary, the idea of speaking to someone you do not know is quite fearful. However this project not only allowed me to capture beautiful moments of people, it also allowed me to forge new bonds and meet new people, regardless of race and religion with just the language of photography.
