This is an interesting project. I’m at the same place as he describes himself at the beginning – don’t quite have the nerve to approach complete strangers to ask for their photographs. I’ll get there in the end. Not sure about his ‘No smile’ approach - I think I understand why he’s done it that way, but it seems to me that asking people not to smile for the camera simply adds a different layer of artificiality to the one that comes from our conditioned reaction to smile for the camera.
