Street portraits that feel staged — have you ever 'directed' strangers for a great shot?

I saw a collection where a photographer treats everyday streets like a stage, capturing strangers in scenes that look almost cinematic. The images feel like tiny stories — people unknowingly playing parts. It made me wonder about the line between candid and directed street photography. Have you ever asked strangers to pose or subtly nudged a scene to get a better photo? Share tips for approaching people, quick prompts that work, or an awkward story when a ‘perfect’ shot went sideways.
