I think that this assignment has demonstrated to me that it is much easier than I thought to approach complete strangers to ask permission to take their photo outside in the street or on their own territory. I still steered away from using a formal permission form and on reflection, I should have used a form. Having got a number of interesting images, I cannot use them in a publication since I do not have the model's written permission.
I have now devised a permission's form for future use.
I also realise now that I should not feel embarassed in taking my time to compose a shot better. This is going to help with assignment five.
And interestingly,my research for this assignment had a real direct influence on how I approached composing my shots i.e. suggesting different ways of approaching shots to present what was really a straight road in a more interesting fashion e.g. looking down on the road as well as looking up; cropped more closely than I would usually have done to bring more energy in to the frame.
