To borrow a sportswear brands slogan, just do it.

I don't generally approach people, I don't usually want them to pose, I want to capture the scene as it is. I try not to be too obvious, intrusive or indeed furtive.

Occasionally I will ask first, if I sense that the person may object or if its just difficult to get the shot (situation, lighting etc).

I've only ever had one objectionable person and I wasn't even taking their photo at the time (I was on a beach and framing a shot, actually waiting for said person to clear off!).
