Street photography is not daunting when your focus is on the landscape or generic culture. When you're photographing people, boldness has got to be incorporated into your five-a-day, limitless doses of Vitamin bold.
Off guard photos are the best. For obvious reasons. However, walking up to someone to ask, well this can cough up a few surprise responses.
I recall back when I did this in Scotland, I had this lovely lady ask me if my bottom-line was going to be a request for money, and if so she didn't have any. Sorry...what?! Well no ma'am. I'm a fully qualified lawyer in the oil and gas industry, thank you very much. The cheek!
This stylish gentleman here...he was nice :)
Enjoy.

I would be scared too to ask people to take their picture. But this guy's jacket is just too sharp. I love the outfit.
ReplyDeleteThis dude is fly! And he knows it. Ready to take him home to my Mama :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this on your Instagram and I just had to see the full outfit. Like someone said, this is daring, but I like it. Men who make an effort to look good are so attractive to me.
ReplyDeleteI do ask a lot - people may look standoffish but once you smile at them and tell them what you want, they are usually accomodating..... *sigh* I really should sign up to instagram - a lot seems to be going on there....
ReplyDeleteNow it looks like I am hooked on your blog and dont want to let go ........
