I will never not be in awe of how quickly so many people say yes to on the spot photoshoots.

Meet Cailey and Hailey. They were super stoked and so fun to photograph.

This is day 54 of photographing strangers.

“Excuse me, can I get a portrait of you with a hot dog on your head?”

Meet Kevin. We met at Lake Eola and he graciously showed me his art!

“This is my art. It’s from my mind!”

“Can I get a portrait of you guys?”

The moment I said that I realized this wasn’t a typical interaction but I continued on as I normally would.

As we finished our portrait he said “pcp and fentanyl.”

“Are you a recovering addict?” I said?

“Current” the lady walking with him responded.

If you or someone you know is faced with an emergency, please reach out to the crisis hotline at “988”.

My friends at @twloha also have an incredible amount of resources on their website.

Additionally, Narcan can be found at most local pharmacies.

Remember, you are worth fighting for.

I hit a lull on social media and decided to start photographing strangers every day until I hit 10,000 followers on IG.

I’ve been photographing this series for 24 days now and figured I’d start sharing it on here too!
