Images - unique people

After researching Diane Arbus I was inspired to take pictures of people whom I didn't know but found intriguing. It was a little strange approaching people and asking to take their picture and trying to build an instantaneous connection with them.

Statue Man - I decided to take a few shots of one of the buskers in Melbourne's city. It was interesting to watch the way the crowd interacted with him and people would run up and take photos.

Lolita Girl- I met this girl in Melbourne Central and asked to take her picture. She told me she was meeting some friends who like to dress in this Lolita fashion which comes from Japan. She was meeting them to go ice skating. I thought she looked really different and just stood out amongst the business in the city.

Pirate People - These 3 people were dressed in pirate costume as part of a pirate themed weekend. I asked to take their picture as I thought they also stood out. The guy sitting on the left was a little hesitant which I think you can read in his body language.
