Four concertgoers

Picture this. I'm walking East on 11th, then turn South on Walnut when I get to 12th. I see two women dressed... interestingly and decide I want to photograph them.

"You two look amazing tonight."

"Thanks!"

"I'm a street photographer and..."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

I always love when someone is enthusiastic about being in front of the camera...

While photographing the second girl, two more show up along with a male friend. The guy then says the other two should get in on this as well. No objections from me, even though they weren't nearly as enthusiastic about it. The first seemed about as... unenthused as you can get, actually.

And she was a little hesitant on doing this... Which "I'm shy" isn't something to say to a street photographer, in my opinion. And I'm not saying that because we'll take offense at it. No, we'll take it as a challenge... Shyness in front of a camera with the right direction and prodding can actually be adorable. In her case, her friends were trying to talk her up, which got her opening up... a little.

Which is why I always recommend anyone who has a photoshoot with me bring a friend.
