ABC Open have been doing some great projects recently. The Portrait Of A Stranger project is “A photography project that challenges you to talk to strangers and to capture each subject in a portrait and short written story.”
It could be interesting to take some ideas from projects like this and expand the narrative to include the everyday occupations of the individuals involved. The possibilities are endless.
Another person doing some really interesting projects is Jonathon Harris. I commented on one of his projects in a previous ASOS newsletter. If you aren’t familiar with his work check out his website http://www.number27.org/

I really like this portrait of a stranger project- I feel a student activity coming on!
