Danny Santos

Danny Santos is a professional photographer based in Singapore, who's project on portraits of strangers I came across when trying to find something similar to my own portrait assignment. His work concentrates on strangers he comes across when walking the streets of Orchard Road in Singapore. He focuses on people who appear to look interesting that he encounters and often has to look twice at. Danny's aim was to capture people who were by all means not ordinary, but strangely wonderful. What stroke me about this project is how it is similar to how I have had to approach strangers in the streets of Hartlepool and ask to take their picture. Like Danny explains in his article, it's hard asking strangers to take a photograph of them because you don't know what their  reaction will be, similar to street photography. The outcome of this project is really interesting. Danny has captured strangers close up creating really beautiful portraits shown below, presenting that its not impossible and can produce a really good outcome.
