1. Sorry, I know it’s wrong, but a picture with a loyal fan, please.
Popping up into a photo shoot of someone you wish to take a picture with is a witty way of asking without saying. All things being equal, you get to have that once-in-a-blue-moon experience.
Photobombing your favorite’s personality photo passes the message of connection and fan love to the person in question, it lets them know that a fan seeking a more personal connection is present, and with luck on your side, you stand the chance for a one-on-one picture.
Consider these scenarios:
- “What a happy couple you two are. How about a picture?”
2. Before you go, can I take a photo?
If photobombing holds no promise, taking the bull by the horns should do. This involves seizing the moment. Here is what I mean:
Imagine a crowded place with star-studded celebrities and influential people trying to get away from the ensuing traffic and by a stroke of luck, one of your favorites stands beside you as they try to make their way out of the crowd. Talk about seizing the moment.
It will take no soothsayer to tell you to pick up your camera, point, and shoot before that perfect moment passes you by. So, my friend, that is also another way to get yourself a picture with someone.
For Reference, check this out:
- “Before you go, can I take a photo?”
- ‘Oblige me to have a photo with you before you leave’
3. Excuse Ms, I get that you are busy. May I request just a picture with you?
What’s as easy as making a request? A simple walk up to the object of your attention and demanding a picture most courteously will earn you more than one photo chance.
An easy way to go about making a request is using the following examples:
- “Excuse Ms, I get that you are busy. May I request just a picture with you?”
