JDD, that's a lot of question !
. Perfect to begin this new year...
So, I never make friends with the babes I shoot, I spoke with some of them, quite rarely anyway. Be sure that even if I have some technics...they surely see me at first as a "just another stranger near them".
As for the set up... I quickly understood that if you choose a place and hope for the best, especially if you want to shoot nice pics, you will pass the most of your days to wait ! So, I try to place myself near a girl that I like (sometimes, it ends with a babe that I don't really like but I MUST shot something for OCC
). But not too close to not frighten the girl(s)/couple. ANd then, don't act suspiciously. (as I saw sometimes on the beach I visited). Stay cool and friendly.
As for now, before the new series presented precedently, the end of the hotlbond.
(I passed several hours near her I think...and it was a pleasant afternoon
