I'm back today to share a new spontaneous photoshoot I did with a stranger in my city, and I also want to tell you the story behind it!
I saw this guy while I was walking at an event in my city. I approached him and explained my usual dynamic, and he very kindly let me photograph him. Since I first saw him sitting down, we started with some photos of him seated where he was, so he could feel more comfortable. I guided him with the poses to help him feel more at ease:
I helped him change his pose a bit to get some variety in the photos:
While I was photographing him, I couldn't help but notice his lanyard and realized it belonged to the city's press. So I asked him, and yes, it turns out he's only been working for two years, but what's important is that he's already on the path to what he's passionate about!
After talking for a few minutes, the guy offered to write a press article about me after the photoshoot. He asked me a couple of questions to learn more about my work, recorded my answers on his phone, and the article will be published on his social media in a couple of days. What an unexpected surprise!
And that's how a spontaneous dynamic led me to make a connection with a journalist in my city, how interesting! That's exactly what I love most about this dynamic: it leads me to meet new people and take good photos in the process.
I hope you liked the photos as much as we did, and thanks for everything!
