about 15-20 minutes. Haven't had anyone hassle me yet... I've offered a free 8x10 of one of the images. I keep a portfolio of my work on my iphone, and I give them a business card with my email and phone #. For me, initial contact is the hardest. I'm a better listener than talker.. and that seems to help break the ice. There's a lot of appreciation about asking to take their picture, rather than having pictures taken without asking. A number of the people are homeless, and just like being talked to as a person.
Jim,
Nice work! Question: how much time do you spend talking with these people before taking their photograph? Does anyone give you a hassel?
Kind regards,
Derek
