One thousand portraits
Stumbled over this set of images on Flickr earlier. A brilliant idea and all shot with film too. Some of the colours are cracking. The portraits are just great. Must have taken a long time and a lot of confidence to go out and get all these! A summary of the project from the Flickr stream below…
Our project is a true portrait of Britain created by photographing 1,000 people.
We stopped everyone who crossed our path on the streets of London, excluding nobody, asking the same question more than fifteen hundred times.
In a moment where recession is the main subject of every discussion, it was striking to come across such positive attitude.
This is the true face of Britain.
