While I was roaming the streets of Lima, Peru earlier this year, I met an artist who was drawing a caricature of a girl. I took a few shots over his shoulder and thought it would be interesting to take photos the other direction, because passers were constantly stopping by to watch over the artist’s shoulder. That’s how my ‘Stranger Portraits: Behind the Artist’s Shoulder’ project was born. I had asked the artist to draw a souvenir caricature of me holding a photo camera… apparently, the camera was taking souvenir pictures :)
