I approached strangers in Paris, London, Oxford and Wales asking if I could take their portrait. After viewing the Polaroid I asked what they would do differently if they were the photographer. The texts are their responses. Father: I like the solitude. It looks like I'm giving her her own space. Portabello: My hair looks good, yeah. If that's the way I look that's the way I look. Can you photoshop 20 years off? Paris: I'd get my feet in. Wales: You should have got our daughter. She won wedding of the year, we were all on telly! Kite: I like it. I like the colours of the sea and sky.
