What is a Street Portrait?
To me its when you meet someone in the course of your travels and ask them to pose for a portrait.
This is different from Street Photography where the subject is usually unaware they’re being photographed.
It can be fun to ask, and people are often happy to oblige. I like to take a small Instax printer with me so I can hand them a copy of the picture at the end. It also adds a nice bit of theatre to the encounter.
Most of these were made in Indonesia. For the candid side of things, see the Street Photography page, or read my thoughts on the Fuji X100V and Instax printer — the print-and-hand-over approach behind many of these portraits.
