My experience in general in the US has been that people tend to be very protective when it comes to portraits, compared to other parts of the world. Keep it up!!!

Is shooting with film part of the authenticity angle you're going with in this particular project, or do you always just shoot with film as a preference? I know that some people enjoy the "gritty" look that film can give images, but it doesn't seem like that texture is what you're necessarily going for here.

What I’m looking for in a subject is someone who is an outsider by virtue of race, gender, religion or worldview. The project is a reaction to safe, homogenized images in media that overwhelms our culture. A depiction of the real world DC except it’s authentic. @ Bogotron - Thx, I will send you the $5 bucks I promised for commenting. @ Pete

He manages to find very expressive subjects, and yes, the colors are always great too. Always multiple points of interest. And I agree with Divine - humans do make the best subjects.

Scenic photography obviously has its strengths, but I tend to think humans make the best subjects. We like to look at each other. :) Gorgeous.
