I don't see a way around it to get the natural ease that unaware models present<br /><br />I had done a series of paintings of people at a coffee shop I frequent and began to wonder what the people might think if they actually saw themselves on canvas... I haven't done any in a while because of that... I'd probably have to make the painting much more anonymous to continue I think.....<br /><br />YOURS if fabulous!!!Marian Fortunatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107085447074524162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355314.post-4718866764473305832010-06-08T19:53:52.226-05:002010-06-08T19:53:52.226-05:00This is so sunny and beautiful.

That usually makes things ok. I have not had a problem getting permission although I have had several adults tell me that they don't want to be photographed. I agree, stealth is important in order to get nice natural poses. It's a quandary.<br />I love the Homer reference.Crazy RAvens Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13899701743108985403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355314.post-31428497775617271392010-06-06T09:53:38.230-05:002010-06-06T09:53:38.230-05:00I once had a guy hold up a bag to cover his face w...I once had a guy hold up a bag to cover his face when I was doing street shots in Provincetown. I shoot on the beach, frequently and I try to remain relatively undetected. Of course the 'models' are no longer candid when they know you're photographing them.<br />This is a beautiful painting, Faye.<br />Thanks for coming by to comment on my blog.Mary Sheehan Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739304038978908921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355314.post-24424251720411391962010-06-06T09:45:19.221-05:002010-06-06T09:45:19.221-05:00I love the composition too and I can fell the wond...I love the composition too and I can fell the wonderful warm day! Beautiful!<br />I did have that scenario happen once in our culdesac when I was photographing a friend's little girl and some other neighbour kids came into the picture. when I explained that I don't paint their face, I really only wanted the form and showed the Mom some paintings she was OK but it did leave me feeling uncomfortable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867584434128253287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355314.post-70893340408309535252010-06-05T23:19:27.395-05:002010-06-05T23:19:27.395-05:00This is wonderful, Faye.

But I did have an Italian street musician yell at me for taking his photo (he spotted me from a block away), but I pretended I couldn't understand what he was saying (he was speaking English). He was furious. I deleted the photo because he was such negative energy. Who wants to paint that?<br />FayeFCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062054592866687165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355314.post-71606141246999448992010-06-05T18:42:48.126-05:002010-06-05T18:42:48.126-05:00Beautifully done!

Only when required do I let another person know I am photographing because, as you said, it ruins the pose. Few people can look natural when they know they are going to be photographed. Hopefully, it won't happen again!Linda Popplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597184853450230942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32355314.post-34193038096276092202010-06-05T13:23:17.343-05:002010-06-05T13:23:17.343-05:00As Lotte would say, "Cheese & crackers!&q...As Lotte would say, "Cheese & crackers!"
