I did a bit of boudoir a couple years ago. That was a bit difficult, in what ways just use your imagination... YMMV

What if the person wants you to take her photo but shy to ask you?chrysoberyl said:scyrene said:I really dislike photographing people, especially strangers, unless they explicitly ask me to. I feel like I'm being rude or invasive - even though I accept that being out and about, I may end up in other people's shots. Street photography is not for me!
This describes my feelings exactly!

A funeral as mentioned by others, is something I don't won't to disturb with my machine guns.

They TRULY appreciated all the captures. I ended up with a BW photo book as a gift plus USB with all edited JPEGs.

The photographer they had lined up was unexpectedly hospitalized and they were having trouble finding a last minute replacement, I came to mind since they knew I was a photographer and were complimentary of my landscape photography. Fortunately for all involved I was able to help them find a real wedding photographer, and I was able to enjoy the wedding and reception as a guest. Lots of people assume knowledge of photography and expensive gear automatically qualify you as a potential wedding photographer. Not true! Wedding photography requires lots of knowledge and skills beyond understanding how to operate a camera and lighting. I have tremendous respect for most of the wedding pros I've watched.
As weird as as it may sound. That is something I really want to do at least once. But generally now when I have your emotional feedback, would prefer the job to be coming from someone distant to me.Dylan777 said:As a friend requested, I was a primary photographer in her family funeral. It was harder than I thought - not IQ or AF - it's more capturing those moments through viewfinder and editing the photos.
