I do this! It is so encouraging to hear about your work.
I love it. And have met the most amazing people. Thanks also for sharing the portraits! Fun. If you are ever inclined, I’d love a live session of those that read Process to share and hear about their experiences with street photography. But for now, thank you for your work. -David
Hi Wesley. Perhaps a zoom meeting with some brief content/an initial introduction to (my words based on my street approach) discussions that precede (or follow after) street portraits. And then have a group discussion about how the photographers in the process community enjoy, cultivate, benefit from these conversations/ moments with people we meet.
Over the past few years I've discovered how much I love exploring a city by taking pictures of it. It's taught me to look at things in an entirely new way. And I love the pics of people. I haven't yet approached folks for portrait shots, instead trying to capture them just going about their lives.
Part of the problem is that so much of the time we're traveling in countries where English isn's folks first language. And oftentimes the best subjects are probably the least likely to speak it. But one can always try!
you might be surprised with how well we can communicate with a smile and pointing finders haha. that's what happened with the portraits of mine in this series that were taken across Japan.
I know you're right. I've got pics of a couple of absolutely wonderful Romanian grandmothers with their grandkids that I did. I've gotten used to tons of things in five years of nomading, so I know I can get used to this as well.

Thanks David! What do you mean with a live session?

That might be a nice thing to self-organize even as the community!

love that Michael! Definitely recommend approaching people too, it's really fun (most of the time!)
