Just swallow hard and walk up and ask. Most people will be more than happy to
let you take their picture. Compliment them on something and it makes it
easier.
I was at a Harley Davidson Teddy Bear Run and one of the participants was the
image of the typival Harley rider..... Long blond hair, beard, eyepatch,
leather..... I asked if I could take his picture and he said no problem.....
I told him that since this was a Teddy Bear run where the bikers were carrying
Teddy Bears to a Children's Hospital, he was sure ruining his image. He
laughed.....
You may have to work a deal with some street people, like a couple of bucks.
Get some model releases and shoot away.....
