Paparazzi yourself

MethodIzaz.com calls themselves a “unique photography experience” providing “your personal works of art”.

This concept of portrait photography seems facsinating- no special lighting set-ups, no rental of a studio space, no control of the lighting and especially the modeling of the subjects.  It’s like shooting animals in their natural habitat, while they’re going on with their lives.

I wonder if the hired guns shoot from far away with large telephoto lens, trying to hide themselves or do they just go out and shoot you?
