RE: Street Photography Tutorial - The Unknown Adventure
Nice work. I wonder if you could say more about the etiquette of asking for permission to take a person's portrait. Is there a distinction made between a portrait and another type of shot? For example, the pic of the girl who gave you that look, is that considered a portrait? Is it considered wrong to take pics of people without speaking to them?
There's a difference between grabbing a shot in the moment and asking someone for a photograph. Most people say yes when you explain why you want the photograph...you also should offer to send them the photograph. Finally, tell them it will only take a minute. Be nice.
I don't think it's wrong to take a picture of people in public without permission as long as you approach each image with reverence
