"It’s the image that counts, not what you call the person responsible for the image. The picture is what matters. It’s what always has mattered most. It’s what always will matter most. Go out and make pictures. Charge for them or not. But make them."

I want to start a new photo project photographing strangers. Any tips on best ways to approach the random passerby?

Make eye contact first. Smile making sure they see the camera. Read their facial and body language. Good luck.

Good start Russell. Thanks!

I took Shooting Street People from Marc Turnley several years ago. He said say away from the homeless because they are unpredictable, and some will follow you around. Therefore, I started shooting the homeless. Marc's Flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos...

The more outlandish the clothes, hair and look the more they want to pose.
- Russellreno
I am more comfortable approaching woman in small groups. Stay away from children and anyone under 21. (But you knew that).
- Russellreno
Great tips. I've really been enjoying the BW$P Project (http://bit.ly/tNrfX) I've been doing, which tends to be mostly homeless. I really want to expand on that and have been having trouble working up the courage to ask for a portrait....not sure why.
- Justin Korn
Justin. I saw a video by Frederick Van where he interviewed a guy who was offering free lollipops in exchange for a portrait.
- Johnny Worthington
Johnny - Thanks! I believe I saw that once upon a time. I should go find it a watch it again...
- Justin Korn
I remember seeing a video of a photographer who would just go around, pretty much jumping in front of people and taking their photo. Pretty funny.
- Beau (והאראסי) Liening
Beau - I don't want to get killed, so I think I will stay away from that technique :)

Justin, when you go to a wedding or large family gathering, who do you hang with the most. Find that type in a park and start a conversation. Also, ask the stranger for advice. Tell them about your project and ask them how they would approach someone. People love to give advice. You haven't asked them to pose directly so they are guarding against a sales pitch. In a few minutes you say thanks, can I get of shot of you before I leave?

Sputnik Observatory For the Study of Contemporary Culture - http://sptnk.org/#/home/
"The central premise of the Sputnik project is that everything is connected to everything else, and that topics and ideas that may seem fringe and even heretical to the mainstream world are in fact being investigated by leading thinkers working in fields as diverse as quantum physics, mathematics, neuroscience, biology, economics, architecture, digital art, video games, computer science and music. Sputnik is dedicated to bringing these crucial ideas from the fringes of thought out into the limelight, so that the world can begin to understand them."
