Photographer Imran Nuri spent 12 weeks driving 15,000 miles across 48 states to collect portraits and wisdom from 1,000 strangers.
has driven 15,298 miles in 12 weeks to speak to 1,019 strangers and seek life advice in the lower 48 United States.an artist and storyteller, thought about this idea was in 2019 when he was a junior in business school and all his friends were getting amazing internships while he wasn’t.
“I spent about $10,000 overall on this trip, which was not money I had already,” Nuri says. “I had to take out a loan, a little bit of Patreon support from friends and family, and then all my savings.”I was always a people pleaser worried about other people’s opinions, and that took years away from being happy, living in the moment, and loosening up. I was always worried about “Oh well, what if they say this? Or what if they say that?” about what I was doing.
“There are a few reasons why I picked the twin lens reflex camera,” Nuri says. “Firstly, you must hold it at the waist level, so when you take portraits of people, they look confident, powerful, and tall. “And they wouldn’t be able to see the photos [unlike in a digital camera]. I wouldn’t be able to see my photos. I would just focus on the experience, less on the results of the photos.”Never go to bed angry at someone. My father passed away in his sleep a while back while we were in the middle of an argument.“I didn’t want people to get distracted by color,” explains the artist storyteller.
