For strangers just say “hey I’m a photographer student, hobbiest, whatever. I really like your (insert compliment) can I take a picture of you.” If they say no just keep moving and say have a good day.
Ever feel the urge to do something nice but your inner dialogue immediately talks you out of it? I saw this couple with a tripod trying to get the perfect photo.i snapped some candids before i asked them if they needed any help. Language barrier almost got us but we walked each other through it. They were grateful. SO INCREDIBLY grateful. There’s still good people in this world. Sometimes it takes one to meet one.
Also how cute are they? I love, love!
if you are out and you see someone you know/have met before and they’re trying to act like they don’t know you or don’t see you, force the HI. end the cool guy pissing contest
40-60 year old people get laid off daily after 15+ years in an industry and have to restart. You’re too young to even know life’s all about restarting and it’s all relative. Fall in love with the process of learning and it’ll never be scary. You might even end up loving what you pivot too. You’ll be fine.
