The miraculous power of a smile - when one smile changes everything

Portraits from the series So I Asked Them To Smile.

You know the idea - a smile doesn't cost you anything, but you can brighten someone's day with it. Jay Weinstein also experienced the incredible power of a smile on his own skin when he once wanted to photograph a man at a train station in India, but when he noticed his frightening look, he aimed the lens elsewhere. Then the man called out to take a photo of him too. ''Smile,'' Weinstein begged him, his serious expression turning into a warm and glowing smile. This moment inspired the photographer to start his series of portraits of strangers, So I Asked Them To Smile.

So I Asked Them To Smile it is a series of portraits of strangers by photographer Jay Weinstein proving the miraculous power of a smile. This consists of a pair of photographs of the same person, one photographed with a serious expression on her face, and the next her mouth is drawn into a wide smile, which completely changes our perception of this person.
