Every day we meet hundreds, thousands of strangers for a moment. A lot of faces that catch us with their radiance or their gaze. I'm tired of these faces only flashing for a moment.  Few years ago, I started taking photos first of friends and then of strangers on the street. I ask them to give me a minute to take a spontaneous portrait of them. There is no prior consultation, makeup, hair stylist and staff. No studio-lightning, no location arrangement.  Most of the pictures are results of spontaneous encounters. 

I do not ask for a phone number or e-mail address. Just a first name, a country name and a look. I'll tell you that I'm doing a series for my blog, which I'd like to turn into an exhibition at the end. In a minute or two I'll do the portrait, give you my card and say goodbye. The goal is a portrait series with 333 photos. Or more...
