Avery Russell wants to know…
Interesting people. Honest conversations. Stories worth preserving.
Because everyone has a story.
Interesting People I’ve Met
Nobody has to be famous. There doesn’t have to be a news hook. They just have to be interesting.
After decades behind cameras and across from people from every walk of life, I’ve become convinced of something simple: some of the best stories belong to people most of us have never heard of.
This project turns the camera toward them. Artists and craftspeople. Business owners and professionals. People beginning unusual journeys and people looking back on extraordinary lives. People whose work, experiences, knowledge or way of seeing the world deserves to be heard.

The doersEntrepreneurs, professionals and community figures doing worthwhile or unusual work.
