Driver/ photographer

Just ask. People already do that. Check out big rig shots on Facebook. He takes pics of trucks more then people. Then there is Tex Crowley on YouTube who does short videos. When asking be polite.

 

"Even the most road-weary gear-jammer is always ready to talk about his truck. You can talk about the weather, the food, the road, anything mechanical, and women. You wouldn't ask what's in the trailer any more than you'd ask a cowboy what's in his saddle bags. That's his business, and whether the load is legal or not, valuable or worthless, it's his personal and private responsibility." That's the way it was for Jane Stern when she published "Trucker" in 1975. Her husband was the photographer. They managed to produce a book similar to your dream book. Good luck.

 

Just yell heeeeyyyyy duuuuddddeeeee maaakkeeeevaaaa seeexxxyyyy pose!!!!

I'd cooperate and laugh at you while taking the picture.

I'm an award winning truck picture taker too. On the company calendar for 2014 lol cash prize

 

This is one of the best ideas. I love it. The American Truck Drivers in pictures

 

Give them time to put on clean sweat pants and give them 20 bucks to buy a t shirt that fits.

 

Don't do scratch and sniff photos!

 

I don't care how polite he ask, but if some sap sucker came up to me taking about a portrait. I'd tell him how far he can stick that camera down a rhino's posterior end. Along with the proper lighting of course.

Really dude who in the heck wants to see A bunch of toothless, obese, leather face truckers. Is this some two girls one cup type fetish market. You trying to cater too?

 

You should have them sign a waiver ensuring if their appearance breaks the camera lens they aren't responsible for the cost of repair or replacement.

 

Why so hostile? What about the old photos of the American cowboys in the 19th and 20th centuries? Early 20th century industrial photos of the laborers who helped build this country? Stuff like this can be a great part of our history.
