“Every photo has a different story. Convincing people to let me into their space takes a lot of time. I would say I have developed different skills to approach people and stay in the safe zone. I use social media, work with locals, and sometimes I ask people directly in the street. In every new country I need to quickly establish a safe network of trustworthy people who understand what I am doing and are willing to help me,” John told Lonely Planet News.
