Strangers is a portrait series made up of chance encounters—moments where I felt compelled to stop someone, ask for a photograph, and often stay for their story. Taken while traveling, each image captures a person who caught my attention for reasons I couldn’t always name at first. What followed was usually a conversation that moved beyond surface introductions and into something more revealing—memories, hardships, unexpected wisdom. These portraits aren’t just about faces or places; they’re about human connection in its most spontaneous form. Strangers is an ongoing attempt to preserve those brief but meaningful exchanges with people I may never meet again, but who left an imprint nonetheless.
