This man somehow gets strangers off the street to spit food coloring into the air and all over themselves while he photographs the odd display. Oliver plays with the idea of portrait manipulation and has done something very unique. The process between the stranger and the photographer is similar in each trial however different indeed. He has a way with getting people to trust him completely, and in some cases in a short amount of time.
"In the end people only do what they want to do. You just have to make them understand that that’s what they want to do. I think we all want to do stuff that we are too shy to really do, but deep down we have it in us. These experiences here in the studio, because they’re so unstructured, they allow for these things to happen. I really like the sense of adventure in the air when things are not scripted, when anything can happen. When a performer comes in here and gets that feeling that anything can happen, then it really becomes interesting and addictive, actually." -Oliver Herring
