Overview
Have you ever seen a stranger who you instantly knew would make
a great photograph? Where the feeling was so immediate and so
visceral that there was no doubt that if a photo was made, it would
result in a wonderful image? Maybe this scenario ended with you
admitting that you couldn’t work up the nerve to approach the
person and ask permission. It’s that all-too-common story of
“the one that got away.” With Portraits of Strangers,
author and photographer Ibarionex Perello will inspire you to move
past that fear and take the leap toward making such photographs
happen. There are some fantastic images ahead just waiting for
you!
Follow along with Ibarionex and you will:
Learn to confront the fear of approaching strangers for photos, realizing that most potential subjects will be flattered they are worthy of your photographs
Learn your way around the gear you need to take great photos, such as cameras, lenses, camera straps and bags, and other “extras”
Understand the essentials behind setting the right exposure so you are always ready for that unexpected photo opportunity
Develop a practice of interacting with your subjects with techniques like mirroring their body language, moving around them to get the angle you want, and always saying “thank you”
