To be more specific as time passed I’ve noticed a shift in the way I approach street photography, in the earlier days I’d be more open to photograph people on the streets and while I still do, I’ve adjusted to taking photos from more of a distance or ideally from angles where their faces aren’t directly in the frame. Feels a bit weird at times because you’d think that as you shoot more you get comfortable with these scenarios. Maybe it’s a form of growth to respect peoples personal space, a bit more but I also just prefer that look. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to handle street photography but curious to hear what others have experienced over time.

    I have changed to be honest I tried to do stuff with people in it but I felt really uncomfortable and didn’t enjoy it and I think my photography showed that and I didn’t want to go out as well. I do also have some objections to photographing random people and posting it online when they are identifiable but I won’t get into a privacy debate…

    Photos with faces in them are almost always more engaging than photos without.

    Not a hard and fast rule in all cases, obviously, but in most cases if there’s question in a given situation “face or no face?” the face will result in the more arresting image.

    People are the reason i don’t street photography, they ether walk into a shot (i shoot mostly 35mm so that wastes a shot) and i think it’s a bit creepy taking photos of people i don’t know, i don’t want people taking photos of me of my kids.
