Thanks. Approaching strangers to pay complements and ask for portraits is not easy. First, I smile and attempt to make eye contact. If those overtures are not reciprocated, I move on, but if the response is positive, I say something nice about the outfit and mention the blog. Moo cards of former postings are most helpful here because someone can visualise her/himself as a subject. This far into the approach I rarely hear no. Always take multiple images and share them for feedback. If necessary, retake. Always thank your subjects. Hope this helps!
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. Coco Chanel

pretty cool blog. What do you do, just ask people if you can take their pic? I want to ask people, I'm just afraid they may think I'm some psycho.
