For my final phase, I have proposed "People With Stories. Completely inspired by Humans of New York, my goal is to take portraits of strangers on the streets and have a conversation with them. I want to capture different types of people and show how each person has a story to tell. I will end up with a collection of photos and words to pair with the person in the photo. I am trying to work on communicating with others, taking portraits, and finding what interests me. WHat have i been doing?I have been trying to go out to locations where I can find interesting people, I have not gotten the perfect opportunity yet, but I will go going to Las Vegas this weekend and hopefully I will have time to take portraits of strangers. With the photos that I already have, I have been trying to figure out how I want to curate them together. I actually started an instagram named People With Stories where I will be posting my photos and I am trying to create a website, but it is not working out the way I have wanted. I want to make a physical product for these photos and I am trying to think of creative ideas, including a book or poster.
I have also been reading and looking through Humans of New York's books, Humans of New York and Humans of New York Stories, made by its founder, Brandon Stanton. I am using these books for inspiration on who to take photos of and how I should do it. I have found videos where Brandon Stanton explains how he had started HONY, how he approaches strangers to take their photo, and what he asks them. Now all I need to do is go to places where I can take portraits of people and have a conversation with them, then take these things to create a piece of work that represent the work I have done. I need to figure out what I want to do with my collection of photos and words. I also want to write a writing piece that explains my experience talking to strangers, what I have learned, and why I was interested in doing this. I want to share my work with other people and make work that I am proud of.
