As you say for me the important point is the situation (perhaps more than the photo), i stop someone completely unknown and ask for a picture of him/her...why would you say " No" or "Yes"?. The thing is that for many people this is an uncomfortable situation, and not for others, i think, not sure at all. The great is that more than 80 per cent of people say yes and that makes me fell good because i trust in people a lot, and this is very confidence for me. Thats why i say that perhaps the photo is not the most important, is just a result of all these things i said before. Inclusive when they say "no" you understand them very well, and always have to say thank you. Is the camera a tool that gives you the chance for meeting people? definitely yes, and marvellous people. <br /> FranAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7055380615696585609.post-45835980361529737132013-02-24T10:27:56.559-08:002013-02-24T10:27:56.559-08:00Great stuff Fran.

I find portraiture fascinating, a picture that tells the story of two people meeting - photographer and subject. Your approach is honest and direct, this comes through in your images. Do you think it's important that all of your subjects are looking directly into the camera?Richard Gaskillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236417688378477008noreply@blogger.com
