Yah, I asked if I could take their photo and then explained if they didn't say no right away. I got around 20 no's before the first yes. These were the only 8 people who said yes in 2 hours of asking everyone who walked by, haha.
out of curiosity... did you notice a type of "snowball" effect? i mean, once you got one yes, did someone else say yes right away, and so on? Or was it really just hit and miss?
I've thought about doing a similar project (using random people) and I'm really interested in the "process" (i guess it would be a process) of asking people to be in a photo.
Awesome idea, and well executed! Great job.:thumbup:
Beautiful idea.
Check out Richard Avedon's "In the American West" for an idea on what to do background wise. It's an absolutely beautiful series of portraits of everyday joes like yours but without the dream job thing.

His background is just plain white. I imagine (because that is why I would do it that way too) that it is to bring 100% of the viewer's attention to the subject. No distraction whatsoever.
I believe your series could benefit from a similar background. Also try and keep the lighting fairly constant throughout the series.
Good luck with this project and hope to see way more in the future.
