A blind photography experiment

Welcome to Stranger Photo Sessions 📸

Apply to be matched with another single adult you've never met for a completely blind, curated photography & date experience.

Tell us about your personality, interests, and vibe. If selected, you'll be paired with a compatible stranger for a memorable, directed photoshoot — followed by dinner.

How it works & What to expect

1. 100% Free to Apply: You never pay anything unless you are selected and confirm your date.

2. Blind Meeting: Neither of you gets the other person's name, photos, or social media beforehand. Your first time seeing each other is when the cameras start rolling at the shoot!

3. Curated Location: The photoshoot location will be personally picked for the two of you based on your vibe (featuring cool local spots like Downtown Wooster brick alleyways, Secrest gardens, or scenic outdoor parks).

4. Dinner Set Up After: Right after the photo session wraps, a relaxed dinner and drinks will be set up for the two of you to sit down, eat, and hang out.

5. Zero Pressure: No obligation to date, kiss, or keep talking afterward — just a fun, cinematic time with great photos to keep.

Filling out an application is 100% free and does not guarantee a match. Takes about 6–8 minutes. Your answers stay completely private.

Your boundaries

Being in a session does not mean agreeing to every pose. Tell me where your line is now, so I never put you on the spot in front of a stranger.

Which of these might you be comfortable with during the session, if you feel comfortable with your match? *

These answers indicate general comfort only. They are NOT advance consent. Either participant may decline any pose or any physical contact at any time, including in the middle of the session. Nobody has to explain why, and I'll never push it.

Photos and video

Comfortable with photos from the session potentially being posted publicly? * Yes Maybe — ask me before posting No

Comfortable with video from the session potentially being posted publicly? * Yes Maybe — ask me before posting No

Comfortable being tagged on social media? * Yes Ask me first No

Submitting this application is not permission to publish anything. If I ever want to post, that's handled separately through a release before it goes anywhere.
