Re: Reluctant?
well i have to say that "street photography" is a genre of photography as a whole so when i say i do street photography i dont charge people in the street to have their photograph taken i take pictures of scenes that may convey emotion to the viewer
- it is the right of anybody with a camera to take a picture of anything they can see whilst stood on public land/property.
onlyme- i have morals - if i took a picture of you or your son or both together whilst on public land and you saw me and asked me to delete it then i would do so because i wouldnt want you to feel uncomfortable-however it is not the law that i have to
do people not enjoy looking at old photographs of accrington or their local town to see how much it has changed?
- when you see the people in them i am guessing that your first thought is not " oh gosh what an invasion of their privacy"
perhaps you think about what they may have been doing - going to work, about to do shopping, meeting other half for a romantic dinner, where they might be going.
street photogrpahy is not meant as a means to invade privacy it is mant to capture a moment in time that others may look at and have their curiosity raised.
yes i can fully understand that it can feel akward and you feel that people shouldnt have the right to do it but hey think of the joy that can be had from it.
