Social Experiment

This street photography experiment gives unsuspecting New Yorkers a surprise photo of themselves

by Add Comment

This is an interesting take on street photography. A social experiment of sorts. Normally, when we do street photography and people are included, or even the subject, of the images we shoot, those people almost never get to see the images we shoot or even know we shot them. Photographer and YouTuber, Josh Katz decided to try something a little different, as he wandered the streets of New York City recently.

Armed with only his Polaroid, Josh photographed people around NYC as normal, but instead of disappearing and moving onto the next subject, he handed over the picture for the subject to keep and started conversations with them as the prints developed.

Cruel Kodak prank pretends to wipe peoples phones to make a strong point

While it’s not quite April 1st in London yet, Kodak Moments UK were a little eager with the pranks. They took to the streets of London to get people try out a “super fast phone charger”, which would then wipe all the data on their phone before their eyes. This one seems particularly cruel and heartless, but it does make a very good point. Your phone could get lost, stolen or die at any time and you could lose everything.

It’s a feeling many of us have felt at some point, even if only briefly. We get up out of our seat, fumble around in our pocket, phone missing. Panic sets in for a second until we notice it fell out of our pocket and onto the chair we were just sat on. Panic over. But what would you do if your phone disappeared or died one day?
