We Met as Strangers: the man who photographed people he met on Twitter

Michael Chapman's personal photography project explored his extended social network, even if it failed to uncover any secret Nazi dungeons

"I was talking to one of my strangers about how I hadn't met any weirdos yet, and she leaned forward and went 'My coat is made of human hair'. And I thought 'Yes! Brilliant!'."

Michael Chapman is the man who met 100 strangers off the internet and lived to tell the tale. The British photographer has spent the last year snapping volunteers sourced through social network Twitter, for a project called We Met as Strangers that he has published online.
