100 Strangers #2

Well here I am again.. with my 2nd installment of "100 Strangers".

This afternoon I had to head into town to do a few things, so I grabbed my camera to take with me in the hope I would have the courage yet again to approach someone that caught me eye for my project.
I saw a couple not far from where I'd parked my car.. while waiting for them both to finish what they were doing.. I played out my introduction in my head.. and grabbed out one of my business cards.
They started walking away from the shops so I quickened my pace to catch up with them...
As I got close enough, I politely called out to them "Excuse me... Hi Hello. I'm Kylie. I have a ridiculously unusual request to ask you.. I've started a personal project of  photographing 100 Strangers.. to help me improve and strengthen on my social and technical photographic skills.. Please would it be ok if I photographed you both?".

The couple spoke with one another... and the guys partner told him she didn't want their photo taken... which was such a great disappointment.. this woman was stunning! Gorgeous brown skin, Afro corn braids all the way down to her back.. and he had dreadlocks.. most of which were hidden under his cap...
But then her partner turned to me..hesitantly agreed and said he would allow me to photograph him..
YAYEEEEEE.. I was adamant moments before i would have to chalk this one off as another rejection.
So below is my Stranger #4 :o)

If the couple who i photographed find this blog entry, and would like a copy of this image... please send me an email at admin@kyliebrandphotography.com :o)  Thank you so much for allowing me to continue in this journey of mine!

100 Strangers #1

Shot my first stranger today... Hehehehe..

Ok I mean I photographed my first stranger (actually 3) today for my personal photography challenge...


I finally got out of my comfort zone today and hit the streets to find my first stranger to shoot ;o)

At first I literally walked around a block.. Summoning up the courage to approach a Sudenese woman and her mother... But just as I got close to them at the taxi rank..they were picked up by their family... I then walked further down the road looking for someone else to approach.. And a very tall sudenese man caught my eye... I walked up and asked him.. But he kept walking shaking his head..

So then I headed back to my car... And these three guys were heading towards me.. The eldest one of the three caught my eye with his curly ringlet hair... So I ran the spiel past them explaining about a personal challenge I'd set up for myself, and would they mind me photographing them?...

They agreed to me taking their photo... But I think it was only because I asked all 3 of them together :o)

And so without further ado... I present you with three awesome guys... who kindly allowed me to start my journey in photographing 100 Strangers!!

Guys... If you've found your way here with the details I gave you..
I hope you like the shots I've taken.. if you'd like a copy, please email me at admin@kyliebrandphotography.com or leave me your email address in a comment below and I'll get your details that way :o)

You guys were legends.. THANK YOU!

100 Strangers

Oh my gawwwd I really have been slack with my blog...

Well hopefully a couple of projects I'm starting will help me to grow more with my blogging skills amoung some other skills, which is the whole reason I've decided to take them on.

My 1st project which I already started is "A Photo A Day".. so far I've only committed myself to the month of January... as I'd already  tried the "365 Day Challenge" last year which teetered off somewhat after May..

If this month goes well I may resume it again in July.

My 2nd project is "100 Strangers" where I approach complete strangers, ask them if I can take their photograph so that I may better my social and technical skills.. and also learn more about people in my community.

Being a Mum of 4 children.. it can be hard trying to find the time to get on here and post my most recent shots... but hopefully once I start my "100 Strangers" challenge I'll push myself more to share with you all how I'm going and how it's helping me grow as a photographer.

So.. for now I'll leave you with images i've already taken of my Family in my "Photo A Day" challenge :o)

Please feel free to leave a comment, as I reeeeally do enjoy reading them.
And if you are undertaking a similar challenge or would like to share some of your images, please leave a link to them so that I may check them all out :o)

Cheers
kyles
