Photographing strangers in the Middle East. Photographers Kaiwan, Ata and I visit Beirut, Lebanon to approach strangers and ask them if they'd like their photo taken.
Thank you to all the beautiful people who stopped to let us photograph them.

That seems so nerve-racking but also, when they say yes and you get that connection, it must feel so amazing and just, HUMAN! I know that it takes so much courage to come up to a stranger and ask to take their picture or film them, sometimes you can see they are uncomfortable or think you have a bad intention or you can see their shyness... It's just amazing :) LOVED this, I am deeply moved by these human connections and photos you took

@caitlinelmasri131 Жыл бұрын
The road situation is 😅😬😳 Constant loud honks and the beeping of motorcycles as they weave in and out of the traffic of cars. Crossing the street is a life or death situation for sure. The cars basically drive as fast as the stretch of land will allow them to, not many traffic signs/lines on the road at all so it's tricky for sure. Our family has an insider that we say, "driving like Lebanon", which translates to... "driving f'ing crazy" 😂😵💫

Watched your other videos on photographing strangers and found the people of Lebanon so much friendlier then most of the other people .Even polite when they refuse to take a photo.Nicest people so far

I have been looking up videos to learn more about Lebanon in light of the tragedy that happened today, and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this view of your home with us. I hope you and everyone that you know is safe.

if only you came to Lebanon in the end of August that's when universities around hamra start so it wouldve been so much livelier!

You guys really made their day! For a few moments the participants felt special and everyone needs to feel that sometimes. Everyone was smiling. This was, if nothing else, a very sweet and heartwarming video.

i love how you show how ACTUALLY mortifying it is to ask people to take their picture, but it gets easier 😊

I was so anxious just watching you approach the strangers 🤢, but at the end you made it look easy. I love the shot of the cab driver leaning into his vehicle. Looking forward to more from Beirut.

I'm a new subscriber, just picked up a camera after 20 years of not shooting. And I'm Lebanese and spent every summer in Beirut growing up. I haven't been back in 10 years and miss it sooo much. Praying for Beirut. I can't wait to go back and take my two kids and my camera:))

Well it might be real pretty but it’s really hard to learn the language just like the Korean and Japanese language and you can’t use google translate for it it has its own accent but if you want to learn it I wish you luck ❤️
