Faces of the Strip District
a single-day project


Just beyond the Pittsburgh skyscrapers lies the Strip District, a close-knit community known for hard work, diversity, and genuine interactions. One after-noon, driven by mutual trust, I approached strangers in public and asked if I could guide them into scenes inspired by my love of cinema. I used my knowledge of colour theory, mainly analogous, to weave this theme into each shot. Every photo captures a spontaneous moment of consent, a negotiation of curiosity and vulnerability between two strangers. Each person gradually moves closer to the frame, akin to getting to know someone. This slow progression reflects human phenology, highlighting our natural cycles of opening up and connecting at the right moments.
