(My response/answers relate to my photographs taken for this project.)
What I've understood/learnt from this article:
Appropriate times to take photographs of others.
Most of the time I don't take photographs of others because I feel like they wouldn't want to be photographed in that situation. e.g if they were eating. I miss a lot of amazing shots by not being quick enough to capture it. I enjoy knowing that people allow me to take photographs when they see me taking them. It gives me that boost to take more.
This experience of street photography has been good. I was able to be ParkupOtaras 'photographer' in our team. I was able to go around and take photograph of others.
Taking a candid is much more real then telling/asking them you're going to take a photo.
You can see the difference when taking the different shots. When it's candid, they're in the moment. When I tell them, they get shy and won't want to be photographed. But then I guess if I've told them I can have a formal kind of photo. Where they pose for the camera.
Why you do it. Why I do photography.
What is used to make your photographs. Like editing after a shoot. Photoshop. or just set up a shoot knowing that your photograph won't need retouching.
Posting photographs in a public space with out their permission? Uploading them.
