While out photographing the hardest part of the shoot was finding models to agree to stop and be photographed, this was made harder as we would not ask certain people to model as it seemed rude or unethical, people who were with children we did not ask or people on the phone as these would not want to be disturbed and the parent/guardian of the child may think we are targeting them for the child, also we did not want to keep them out in the cold for longer than they should have been.
We sometimes felt that we must rush through the taking of the picture as we did not want the model standing in the cold any more than we had too be there. Many of the models were more lenient with the time we took as we may have told them it was our first time out with the camera and we were only just learning how to use it, this gave us more time as many of them relaxed slightly (probably thinking that their image wasnt going to work.)
While shooting we remained polite and courteous and if people did not want to be photographed we accepted their decision and moved to find another person, we also asked if they would like to leave details with us so that they could receive a print once we had done it, this they appreciated and one person left his details with me wanting a copy of the photograph.
