20 RANDOM PORTRAITS IN 20 MINUTES
It seems as if any time I get with my friend Matthew, things end up being a tad awkward. Photographically speaking. It’s been quite a while since I spent a decent amount of time with him, as he is a full-time photography student at University Falmouth in Cornwall, UK. And it was time well spent.
After a refreshment (or two) downtown Appleton, we had the notion to get out and make pictures for the mere sake of killing time. With his Nikon D700 in my hands and a large softbox at our disposal, we took to the streets of College Avenue to create random portraits of random people we found patronizing the cigar lounge and lingering in the streets late into the evening.
Awesome. And awkward.
This is the tip of the iceberg for this type of work. Our plan is to see if we can set-up white seamless on the sidewalk in the next week or two and shoot another series. Providing we don’t get shut down by order of local ordinance. I’ll keep you posted..

These kinds of projects are great. Been working up a project of my own like this. Check out strobist.com (if you haven’t already), he’s got another great project by Clay Enos posted. Very nice shots Dave.

I can’t wait until you switch to Nikon. Turn to the dark side, Dave…
Let me know when you want to do Round #2.
Matthew.
