Moco asked them to pose nude, a style of photography that requires a lot of trust between photographer and subject. Others were attracted to the experience, wanting to try something new.īecause the participants were not models it was important to build a strong rapport with them. Moco describes the people who were willing to take part as “open-minded individuals or people who were just curious.” Some of them want to help spread the message of the project, relating to the ideas and values held by Moco.
“Once I had my website, that I would direct people to through my profile, I would start to receive interest before approaching myself.” “At the beginning when I was starting to build the project and didn’t have anything to show for it yet, it was tough to convince people,” he tells The Phoblographer. When you’re potentially asking strangers to leave themselves vulnerable, it can take time before you’re able to get people involved. A photography project isn’t always easy to get going.
