In his latest series, titled “Triptychs of Strangers,” Adesokan approaches people he doesn’t know, takes a series of three body shots and presents them together as a portrait.

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there. I actually noticed and talked to [Marta] because of her remarkable color choice that day … She has a strong weakness for sweet, especially cakes and biscuits – she pointed out that she is not much into the colorful wine-gum stuff. She once tried to quit eating sweets for a week and ended up lying around with a full belly only 6 hours later.” Find more of Adesokan’s photos on the Triptychs of Strangers flickr page.
