 Don't
be afraid to ask
You will rarely be refused permission to take a photograph of
someone at work if you take the trouble to ask. In fact, the
harder the person's job, the more likely it will be that he will
agree. There is often a great sense of pride in the minds of
people who do hard physical work, and they are usually pleased
that their efforts and skills are recognised by a photographer
It doesn't make any difference
if you are taking photographs for your own pleasure or professionally.
In this case the approach went something like: 'Hello there,
I'd love to take a picture of you while you're working, especially
with that fantastic view behind you. Is that alright?' Be positive
but not pushy.
