Should I try to speak to local photographer?

[shogran]

I'm keen to get into photography and would like to try making a living from it. A 30 second walk from my home is a man who runs a small photography studio doing weddings, portraits, familys etc. Would it be a good idea to call or pop in and try to talk to him about photography or does this seem to intrusive as I don't want to waste both of our time?

Hi and welcome.

I would go and ask him. He can only say no. Failing that ask here and we have a business section as well.

Do it! You've got nothing to lose! The worse that can happen is he says no

You should definitely go and ask!
If you don't ask you don't get

hardly a week goes by that i dont get asked stuff... was a guy on saturday pitchside at football with a 70-200 and he asked me all about settings... I love answering and will talk the back legs off a donkey given the chance... so it depends of the bloke himself.. always go for it though

Thanks for the advice

Who knows what you could do to help each other.

Yes deffo, I started talking to a guy at an event, turns out he's looking for help with weddings, which is something I want to get into. Like they say you never know until you try.

Out of interest would it be worth starting a thread (or is there one alread I don't know of) where working pro's can post interest in allowing tag alongs/2nd shooters? Or am I
