People often tell me that they saw amazing things and didn’t take a photo because they didn’t have the guts to ask.
Trust me on this one.
The worst that can happen is the answer “no”. No one will start screaming at you or kill you. Literally the worst that can happen is “no”
If you feel uncomfortable just start small. Ask some local shop owners if they mind having their picture taken. You will quickly find out that they often don’t mind. They even are willing to pose and give you the time to do so. Although some will say “no” I guess 80% will say “yes”.
So don’t miss those shots. Just ask.
The shot above was shot during a trip.
I just loved the little place and just asked the guy if I could take a shot. He didn’t even think about it. “Sure fellow”
Love the little tips?
Let us know in the comments below and feel free to also show some of your shots and tell your story.

As you know I’m running an ongoing personal project in where I shoot quick/impromptu portraits of people I encounter during trips, in the studio, friends, family etc. there is actually one one rule…. lighting has to be as basic as possible, I can use natural light, lume cubes, my iPhone, a flashlight and in Emergencies a small strobe…
Now some places will give you a LOAD of options if you just have the guts to ask people, and one of those places is a flea market.
So today some images from one day, didn’t want to put them in separate posts.
Shot with my iPhone very quickly in between sets during a workshop, just couldn’t resist.
Natural available light.
