[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 650615, member: 43545"] I have a good time, as I was explaining to a younger American living here a long time when he asked how come I meet so many beautiful girls and he, who is younger, better looking, doesn't. I don't meet them, they introduce themselves to me and usually give me their phone number without asking. My suggestion was to have a tiny cute dog/puppy or have a big lens. We were walking in a park at the time and he thought I was joking but 15 seconds later a really cute young woman came up to us and asked if I would take her photo. She gave me her card to send the photo. 15 minutes later another two gives approached me. The girls above were friends I met over the last couple years who approached me to take photos and we have done activities together a number of times. The bottom photo is of a girl I did not know but she and I have talked on the phone since that photo was taken Wednesday. She wanted to arrange a girls day where she and her girlfriends want a play day of going into a studio, have a MUA, and lots of changes of clothes. Renting a high-quality studio is very low cost here, a 60 sq meter studio with high ceiling, floor to ceiling windows with blackout curtains and 4 ProFoto strobes with all the modifiers is about $20-25/hour. A MUA is about $8/hour so we could spend 3 hours and get hundreds of good photos in a studio with a choice of scenes. The one closest to my home has 7 studios, 1 is bare, just backdrops but the others are different scenes...modern living room, classic Victorian style bedroom complete with working clawfoot period bathtub, modern sleek office etc. There are about 120 such studios to rent by the hour in the city center.
