>>3928234It is incredibly creepy and awkward for the both of you, trust me.
I took a course on photojournalism a while back and we had a task to take a photo of a busdriver in the bus, looking to the camera - it was just awful, I was rejected like five times before a guy finally agreed.
I completely understand every single one of them.
Later I worked for a short while for a newspaper, but that's different because people that I was photographing were well aware of it.
If you are a regular on here, I suppose you'll feel more inconvenient about it than a regular person would, but try not to think about it ,once it's done - you ask, it happened, it's done, just forget about it.
My advice would be not to ask, but then your options are a lot more limited and results are probably not going to be satisfactory.
If you are going to ask, get a 0.5 of Coke zero and a 0.1 of rum, mix it in the bottle and get into action after a few sips. it'll relax you and help you forget about how incredibly awkward and terrible it is. Drink slowly and with caution. Have gum, so that they don't sense the alco breath.
Other than that, work on your speech, try to be imposing, maybe go with a friend (lmao), and that's pretty much it.
It's going to be terrible, dw.
