About this Project

Hi there, my name is David Weir. By day I'm usually designing pretty pixels at the awesome Soap Creative agency, but in my spare time I enjoy taking photos.

This project is an attempt to step out of my comfort zone and into a new level of portrait photography: by taking 100 portraits of people I have never met.

So follow me as I attempt to reach 100 portraits and hopefully meet some cool new people on the way.

Where can I follow the project?

You can follow me via my:

Feel free to comment, like and share these images so everyone can have there say about how I am going and what they think about the strangers I've met.
