suggested spot Explanation: cf. Ricky Powell, the New-York photographer shot his pictures on a spot or place he would suggest to the people he would photograph. Ricky Powell said the following: "I captioned my pictures of 30 years as “pro photos on a hang-out tip." "When I do a shoot, I tell a person, ‘Yo, just meet up with me. We'll go for a walk and talk.’ We'll be walking and talking, feeling each other out, and having a laugh. Then we'll be walking by a certain brick wall, or a stoop, I'll be like, ‘Yo, yo. Right here. This is perfect.’ So I think I have a good sense of what's dope. And thankfully it works out. https://www.theobservers.co/blog-people-s2/ricky-powell |

hangout tip a waiting place for paparazzi Explanation: I think this may relate to paparazzi. A hangout tip would be a hint, perhaps anonymous or from a PR agency, saying if you hang out in such-and-such a place, you might catch a famous person coming in or out. The Ivy restaurant in London used to have photographers standing outside, snapping all the customers in case they were well known figures. Your particular example is a photographer who shoots both celebrities and just people who look interesting. |

[while] hanging out Explanation: "Tip" is old school rapspeak. "on a X tip", tip being: A way of being or feeling https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tip https://www.discogs.com/Various-On-The-Rap-Tip/release/50681... https://www.discogs.com/Various-Rap-On-The-Lighter-Tip/maste... "hang out" is what close friends do, an informal way of spending time together with no particular purpose. This means the photographer wants it to be an informal meeting outside of a studio, getting to know his subject by "hanging out" and taking pictures spontaneously at different moments, avoiding the "posed" feel of a studio, giving an impromptu, spontaneous, informal and intimate feel. https://212arts.com/photography-store/ricky-powell-basquiat-... I think for your first occurrence you will need to use the idea of friends "hanging out"; "it was as if you were just hanging out [with them]" and for the second occurrence describe the photographic result as a style; "I later designated [m]y style as "pro[fessional] photos taken while hanging out". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 2 hrs (2020-06-15 01:26:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This was no paparazzo; he was part of the scene. This article's titile, "Point and Shoot" gives the context behind his unposed, unplanned, spontaneous style. https://medium.com/@jamesfinucane/point-and-shoot-an-intervi... "It was just prior to one such art event that Powell shot one of his most well known photographs, that of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat en route to the opening of their famous joint-exhibition at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in spring of ’85. “I was ***hanging out*** across the street with two dudes who were very important to me at the time, graffiti writers Zephyr and Revolt: prolific graffiti writers-slash-celebrated outlaws. I was ***hanging*** with them watching the scene, psyched just to hang out with them and take a few pictures, when I saw Warhol and Basquiat coming down the street towards the opening. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 2 hrs (2020-06-15 01:28:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This was no paparazzo; he was part of the scene.
