Cheers... 2 Jul 2007 7:47am Ling from Malaysianice! 2 Jul 2007 12:18pm @Ling: well,i never ask their permission,i approach them and capture,if they don't look happy about that ,it is no big deal,just be yourselves,put down your camera,smile,walk away if you want,but i usually have some chats with them.I got shouted by people in many occasions,oh ya,i even tried to capture people in 7-eleven shops and got chased away by the manager,you know,business thingy... haha... :P Duncan Galbraith from Kyoto, JapanExcellent street portrait. Great photo journalism. I love the depth and richness to your processing too. Your processing choices are always spot on and do justice to your work. Fine indeed. 2 Jul 2007 12:41pm Viewfinder from United StatesNice portrait of a hard-working young man on the job. 2 Jul 2007 2:22pm Walt from Scarborough, CanadaYou wonder about child labour when you see shots like this - is he just doing this to make some money, or to feed his family... 2 Jul 2007 4:59pm @Walt: He wants to make some money to feed his family. Art Monkey from Salt Spring Island, Canadalooks like he has a lot of selling to do! - nice capture :) 2 Jul 2007 6:44pm Daniel & Jessica from Melbourne, AustraliaGreat capture and post processing, buddy!

Peng Wei Seng from Penang, MalaysiaGreat..u r life recorder. A very lifestyle pic. 3 Jul 2007 4:00am Levine from Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaTo me, the proper way is...or what you can do is, approach them and have a chit chat. Talk about random stuff or ask them questions like how much these shoes are or do they have a size for you. Just something to initiate a conversation. Then ask if it is ok to take a photo of him/the person. If you have a green light from the person, then go ahead, happy shooting but if you get a big NO NO, then just say " Ahhh, okok sorry". I always do that. 95% success. Just to share :) 3 Jul 2007 6:07pm @Levine: haha,yup,that is pretty much the same for me :D Babul Bhatt from Bombay, Indiaget a 70-300mm telephoto lens you can stand across the street and shoot people unaware :) that's how one does candid photography. the other way is to hold the camera at hip height and clicking without the people around knowing. there are a quite a lot of things written on street photography you shud try to read them up... 5 Jul 2007 12:36pm |
