"100 STRANGERS"
Could you walk up to someone you’ve never met, start a conversation, and leave with a photo? That was the challenge Ian Butler set for himself. The result? “100 Strangers,” a book of portraits that captures humanity at its most raw and authentic.
Created in the aftermath of the pandemic, this project became more than a test courage. “It was a way to document the resilience and humanity that had emerged as we navigated a new chapter,” explains Butler.
“100 Strangers” stands as both a personal milestone for Butler and an inspiring reminder to photographers everywhere: growth comes when we push past fear and open ourselves to the world around us.
