jewels Yes, but not easy, especially in Europe. I do quite a lot of portraits when I travel, in particular in South East Asia where most people are very open to be photographed if you approach them with a warm smile. I find that people are much more wary of photographers around here... So happy to find some who do agree!

Satoshi T Previously they were more generous. it is a little regrettable.

Satoshi T Nice photographing strangers!
