I am a quite shy person ad often, when i find an interesting composition-subject (like a person doing something, a goup of people in a nice setting etc), i struggle to capture it because i feel like i’m being rude taking pictures without their approval, but at the same time i think that, by asking them, the spontaneity of the shot would be compromised. What’s your take about it?
I just yell “heh fuckstick” and depending on their reaction start from there. Honestly this place, people want confirmation for every tiny decision.
I see these street photographers saying hey I want to take photos and they be Ike oh yes of course you can do that.
I have a hard time believing it works that way in real life
Last year i had half a role of film i needed to finish of and didn’t want waste it so went out for a walk and asked people "Can you help me with my photography? i’m finished off a role of film, looking for colourful things and i was your (what stands out) can i photograph you?
Some people asked if i was making a movie, some said Fkoff but most said ye sure.
Dress smart.
state the reason why you want to take the photo with a compliment
