Dear Peter X, Thank you so much for your very kind and helpful words. To be honest, I don't want to treat this experience as a trading behaviour or just a commercial thing, ideally I could also make friends of the people who helped me to do this photo shooting, but, I do know that what I'm going to do will interrupt their normal daily life, I would like to give them something back as compensation or reward. So, I'm kind of in the dilemma, don't know what is the best way to communicate with the one who may help me... I do need your guys opinions, thanks.
about the questions you asked: The location can be anywhere in London, or the place not too far from London(40 mins driving distance.) I prefer rural area, not many people passing by, and if there is a historic Lock in the background scene would be great.
About Boat, thanks for reminding me that the traditional boats are colorful, I actually quite like the boat in London Canal Museum, which is blue, red and white as main colors,
