I just wondered if anyone has given people they see, in the street or supermarket etc, a business card because you thought that person had an interesting face or appearance and would like to photograph them at a later date? I know a lot of us do street photography, but what about the times when you see someone who looks really interesting but you do not have your camera with you?
 
I have seen people around before that I wish I had the camera to approach them with but mine have normally been aided by the situation they are in and what they are wearing at the time etc. Could be good idea though if you wanted to call them into a studio or similar.
 
I'd only do it if I had a website showing plenty of examples of my work on different models. I do see people from time to time who I just know will photo well and I would love to shoot, sometimes I'll see friends of friends on facebook and approach them about photo's.

In truth I'd rather do this to get my number out to the hot girls I see on the tube during the week.........however carding a girl is unlikely to work really from a getting them on a date persepctive.
 
I see loads of people when I'm out and about and think that I'd love to approach them about a photoshoot but I never have done.

I suppose if you have a professional looking business card that can direct them to a professional looking website with a good portfolio on it then you're on to a winner.
 
I have approached people in the street and hand them my business card with mixed success. I have never had any negitive comments or black eyes yet so I will continue to approach people who I think have "a certan look" about them. You do have to be careful with the persons age, not a good idea to approach someone under 18.
