Is it creepy to approach a random girl on the street and ask for a portrait?
I'm a hobbyist photographer for 3+ years now and I've never earned anything from it, I simply do it for the love of the game as they say. However, thus far I've shot mostly nature and maybe some architecture.
Street/urban photography as well as portraits are unknown grounds to me that I'd like to explore. I did do about 5-10 portraits of mostly friends and family members but I'm afraid that's not enough for a decent portfolio so I'm just looking for subjects to practice on, and give them pics for their socials later because why not ☺️.
In this cruel world this random act of unconditional kindness is seen as very strange. Even half of my friends asked what I'd charge them when I offered to photograph them.
I'm simply not spoiled by capitalism and don't care about money (yet). I'm a young, decent looking guy so I guess the only variable here would be the way I approach asking for a portrait. Can you guys help me? How would you do it?
I saw quite a lot of YouTubers doing this, but I definitely wouldn't film my apporaches. I'd also not post those portraits anywhere because I value privacy, they'd only go into private portfolio folder.
