i walk into them and say "hey, good afternon, i'm photographer and i'm doing a photography content where i approach strangers and i ask them if i could take a photo, i saw you have a very cool style so i wanted to know if i could take you a photo for my content"
that's usually my line, 8 of 10 people say yes!
Yeah I guess in those sorts of environments people are pretty happy to get some good looking portraits. Do you get their emails or numbers or something and send them the final outcome?
Yes i get their number to send them the photos!
Nice! I've had similar situations where people have gotten near me and talked to me about it, then I've offered to take a picture and send it to them, but I've never had a situation where I've gone out of my way to ask directly.
