Interesting Faces – Stephen David

Interesting Faces

These images are from a series titled “Interesting Faces”. After approaching people in the street I placed them by a nearby wall and took 6-12 images. The whole process from “Hi” to “Bye” took 4-5 minutes, with the actual photography taking less than 1 minute. Taken at busy locations, like Flinders Street, meant that most people were in a hurry and rushing by.

All portraits were shot on 35mm film or digital and some were taken with on-camera flash.

The idea of the series stemmed from the old addage of “looking at the ordinary and seeing the extrodinary”. The simplicity of the headshots relies on the subject and their expressions.
