DON'T BE A STRANGER

This year I'm hoping to expand my personal portfolio by making 500 portraits of mostly strangers, or at least people I haven't photographed before.  I've had cards printed to explain the project and will hand them out to likely candidates throughout the course of the year.  In some cases I'll be able to make the portrait then and there but others will require a longer setup.  The images will be published on the 500portraits.posterous.com microsite as I complete each one and eventually in a gallery on openphotography.co.uk/galleries/.
