Are you up for the challenge?

8. 100 Strangers Project

The 100 Strangers Project is not a time-based challenge, but it is indeed an interesting one. In this challenge, your goal will be to take 100 photos of people you’ve never met before. This challenge can be interesting for anyone who loves taking candids or portraits. You’ll be challenged by the fact that doing something like this will put you out of your comfort zone and this can be difficult for a lot of people. However, great photos truly do come out this challenge and I encourage you to give it a try!
