In 2010, Harvey, a photographer, worked as a taxi driver in the small town to save up funds for his world travels. At the end of the ride, he would ask his passengers if he could take their photo.

His passengers' candor surprised him. People share a lot when they never expect to see you again.

Harvey has shared a selection of photos from his "Taxi" series with us. You can see more on his website or on exhibit at MONKEY in Swansea, Wales.
