What happens when you photograph two strangers like they have known each other forever?
Would you do it?
Meet The Team
Stranger Sessions is a photography and social experience bringing two strangers together for the first time in front of the camera. Selected applicants are matched based on their interests, preferences, and availability for a unique 45-minute photography session. Each session will be divided into a 15 minute individual/headshot session and a 30 minute couples session.
No experience required and no expectations of love at first sight. (Although, who knows? Maybe this is the one!) Just you and your match getting to know each other while creating photos that look like you've known each other forever.
This experience won't last forever!
Applications close November 2nd.

The Purpose behind the project
Stranger Sessions is helping us build a photography portfolio for our future wedding and event company. Each session is styled as an engagement shoot (don't worry, we're skipping the proposal!), and photographs may be used for commercial marketing and promotional purposes under the participation agreement.
Who Should Apply?
Stranger Sessions is for single adults 18 and older who are open to meeting someone new, trying a different kind of photography experience, and stepping a little outside their comfort zone. Whether you're outgoing, a little camera-shy, or somewhere in between, you're welcome to apply.
We're looking for people who are respectful of others' boundaries, open-minded, and genuinely interested in participating. Applicants of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome. Matching takes individual preferences and available participants into consideration.
