In this episode of Get the Picture, host Brad Sigal talks with Vijay Britto, a portrait photographer in Maryland who has photographed more than 250 strangers, improving his photography and leading to paid work doing portraits and weddings. He talks about what a 100 Strangers Project is and how doing the project helped improve his photography, build his confidence, and make lasting connections. He makes a compelling case for why a 100 Strangers Project might be just what you need to take your photography to the next level.
