As a way to develop my skill as a street photographer I've been working on approaching strangers and asking to take their portrait. . . I also shoot candid photos. However, I feel there's a special energy that emerges when you engage with someone you don't know, and they trust you enough to capture them, digitally speaking. You also get to know a little about the subject, and see how much alike you may be, despite what differences may/may not be evident. . . This portrait is from 2016 and is one of my earliest attempts at shooting strangers. This dapper couple is from Australia, and we're at the Oculus in lower Manhattan. . . I hadn't developed my current practice of getting people's names. I did give them my business card, so they could request a print if they wanted. Sadly, I never heard from them. I wonder what they're up to now? . . #ChaosPhotos #NikonPhotography #NYC #ShootingStrangers #justgoshoot #streets_storytelling #StreetPhotography #spicollective #Manhattan #nyclife #streetstyle #oculusnyc #portraitphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Qn_sgl5Gs/?igshid=1tet2hh5bj4mi

I was wondering around the art museums for a school project during the spring, but brought my camera with me since why not. I told myself that I would ask atleast one person for their photograpgh since despite being shy I often regret (and still am guilty of this) when I see a cool shot and an interesting person and let the moment past when all it takes are a few words to erase all the nerves and regret. The worse that can happen is I'm told no, but he said yeah sure. :) ___ @jdepsilon 📸 • • • • • #streets_storytelling #moma #portbox #moodyports #shootingstrangers #newpeople #noregrets #capturethemoment #gooutandshoot #moodytones #777luckyfish #him #chef #naturallightphoto #lookingout #photostory #ny #nyc #throwback #nostalgia (at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gOn2wpeB5/?igshid=1s7vh4q8fahrk

Devo confessar que nessa circunstância eu fico com o celular. Mas tem que ser em local seguro. Repost from @hu9obastos @TopRankRepost #TopRankRepost cada um com seu passatempo #shootingstrangers #busstop
