Published by Daylight Books, Relative Strangers by street photographer Teri Vershel highlights the unseen connections in the everyday. Many of her photographs in the book are presented as diptychs and weave narratives between images that tell stories of a shared humanity. (August 19, 2024)

Vershel explains: “I’ve been a people watcher all my life and I am always striking up conversations with strangers I meet every day on the street, so continuing in this vein with a camera feels natural. While the people in the photographs are strangers, I find by comparison that they are often related.”
