Los Angeles-based photography team Kremer Johnson has created a captivating project featuring photos of complete strangers. For their ongoing portrait series, photographers Neil Kremer and Cory Johnson found their subjects using Craigslist. The strangers all responded to an ad titled ‘Characters Wanted’ and agreed to pose for $20 an hour.

The locations of the shoots are based off the subjects responses to what place best matches their character.  The duo has photographed 30 people so far for their project Craigslist Encounters and is aiming to photograph over 100 more in the upcoming year.

Take a look at the most compelling people who have responded to their ad so far.
