My get pushed challenge was take take a shot of a Stranger. How lucky was I to have a stranger in the house to deliver and fit my new dishwasher.
I feel it’s a bit of a cheat when someone is in your home but Mike was more than happy to oblige.
Unless the prompt specifically says, go out and find a stranger, I feel you are perfectly within your rights to use a stranger that is in your home. I like this portrait of him. It’s nice and sharp and he has a lovely smile.
Made me smile as my other half will be in a similar position soon fitting in our new dishwasher when he finally gets to that stage in our kitchen re-vamp! Great shot.
Oh well done you! Lovely shot, great smile, and no, it's not a cheat. If it is, I grabbed the man from Octopus and a double glazing chap some while ago (bit of a hostage situation)!
And since you already know his name, he.s no linger a stranger, is he?
You.ll have to give the challenge one more try... maybe on the next delivery, shoot first and ask the name afterwards. (This sounds strange outside 365.... in the woods, for instance)
@monikozi interestingly I asked if I could take his photo and explained why. He said as you don’t know my name then yes I am a stranger. He then introduced himself. So guess that this counts. ;)
Friendly face. Hope he got your dishwasher set up. I don't think you cheated. Your partner didn't specify where you had to be when you ran into a stranger.
I think it absolutely counts, and it's a great portrait. People are strangers only until we get to know them a bit. No matter that he was in your house. I had to laugh at your description of his comment about yes, being a stranger since you didn't know his name.
