Photographer Tanja Hollander has always wondered if social media has changed the way people define friendship.
After constantly communicating with her friends online via Facebook, Hollander wanted to find out if their relationship would be affected if she happens to meet them in real life.
To satiate her curiosity, Hollander spent the last three years working on her project, ‘Are You Really My Friend’. She visited her Facebook friends around the world, and photographed them in their homes.
The Facebook friends featured in her portraits carried an interesting mix of expressions—most appeared serious, while few looked delighted to have their pictures taken.
Check out her photos below.
