Coeur d’Alene photographer Adam Schluter has a knack for finding a compelling portrait. That is obvious with just a cursory glance at some of the images on his website, hellofromastranger.com. And now he’s compiled some of his best images from a yearlong project he undertook to step away from technology, travel, and simply approach real people — in person — and ask to take their picture. He calls the process that led to his book The World I See a life-changing one, and no doubt that passion comes through in the anecdotes and stories he includes for each of the images in the book — culled from more than 1,000 portraits he shot in 19 countries. He’ll share stories from his travels at his book-release party this weekend.
