I've been intrigued by street photography lately. So far, I have not gotten a single worthy shot from strangers on the street. Most of them are quick to turn away from the camera, or even worst . . . smile at the camera (urghh!).
Today, however, I was walking around and saw this guy with a unique style (for Miami anyway) and started shooting away. It was crowded so most of the shots were of people blocking him or just not good at all. He walked up to me and asked if I was trying to shoot him.
I guess he must have seen the disappointed look on my face as I deleted the pictures from the camera because he walked up to me and asked if I wanted him to walk back so that I could try again. This is completely new to me; a stranger actually cooperating with me! I did ask him to go back and he did a pretty good job at not making it look like it was staged.
Here's the shot I got. It's not the best, and not what I was looking for, but him wanting me to get a good picture made me try to fix it as much as I could.
Feel free to share any friendly/cooperating street photography stories.
