Yesterday I met a very famous Japanese person. I panicked and asked him,
「写真をとってもよろしいでしょうか」

Was this correct? Or was this too polite and kind of strange?

question
politeness
Should I use sonkeigo if I meet a celebrity?
Assuming you met him privately, yes that was correct. 写真撮ってもいいですか is usually
acceptable (especially if you are young), but 写真を撮ってもよろしいでしょうか is never overly
polite nor strange.
