You know how people - well, I was going to attempt to be gender neutral, but I have honestly never heard a man say this - you know how women say,
"I don't dress for anyone but myself!"
Bull ish. I've always held that everyone dresses for other people, because everyone understands that clothing is a form of non-verbal communication. This project has gone a long way to confirm my hypothesis.
While I was out on the Riverwalk with Maegan , I saw a young man who's attire suggested a creative, artistic personality.
I approached him, told him about the project and he allowed me to snap a few frames.
Now, I have previously stopped strangers and neglected to get any information about who they were - occupation, interests, etc. I now make sure to explain that I caption the photos for the project. I then ask for the person's input on how their portrait should be titled.
"I'm a graphic artist."
This hypothesis is growing into a bona fided theory. I will reveal further evidence for my theory in the next portrait :)

Asking them how it should be titled should be a fun element to incorporate.
The background here really makes this interesting.
Damn Noah, how do you manage to make everyone you shoot look so beautiful? Seriously? Loving your art, but I think I said that before :)- ebony s.
Tafari, I thought about cloning the people out in the back ground, but now that I look at it, they add a certain symmetry.
Ebony :) Thank you sister. I really appreciate that you are enjoying it. I think they are beautiful already, I just have to capture it.
Thank U for photographing Kwame and highlighting as one of the many gorgeous faces of our city. He is a very talented man and stands out in many ways. Great work!
yomaris,
Its obvious even to a stranger like myself that he is good people. Thank you for vouching for the brother.
Hope you guys had a good time at the Riverwalk. Thanks for letting me intrude on your evening :)
