I’ll be honest and say that I don’t necessarily have many close people around me. Nor do I have a huge portfolio that would make people interested to pose for me. This means I’m kinda just alone when it comes to photography. Yet, I want To experiment with portrait photography to learn and make myself a portfolio. I can’t really take pictures of myself either considering I plan on using an old 1970’s film camera when it comes to portrait. Though, I do have a digital one with remote control functions, but that one won’t be nearly as immersive. What are your suggestions?
Just ask random people. Say “Hey I’m learning portrait photography and I thought you are really interesting because of XYZ” offer to send them the picture. Everybody won’t say yes but a pretty high percentage will.
