  • It's important to know if the image is worth the wait. So you not wasting time.
  • Looking at something else but the person if you don't want them to confront you.
  • Smile at them to make it less stalkery.
  • Don't need to ask them for permission, because I won't be selling them.
  • Wear dark clothing.
  • Keep elbows in when shooting.

So when I go out and take photographs in Otara I could take photos of people doing their own thing.

Keep in mind:
What to have and not have in the frame.
Where you position the people
ANGLES
