Welcome to My Photographic Observations.
My topic today is how to handle a situation when taking
candid street photos.
I find street photography fun as you can take photographs of anything
you see on the streets as long as its in public space.
I'm not one for spying or anything like that but as I have posted before
I like to take candid or spontaneous photographs of people.
In the first photograph I was walking along Marmontova Ulica
which is a mall in Split Croatia. I saw a bright subject in my
peripheral vision and so I turned my head and this girl was sitting
on a bench seat.
I liked the bright yellow of the dress and proceeded to make a
photograph when she noticed me just as I made the click.
As you can see she wasn't exactly happy,
many other photographer's would have just moved on.
Instead I acknowledged I took her photo and walked up to her
and just said I am a street photographer. I showed her the photo
and being pro active asked if she was ok with me taking her photo.
She said I didn't need to delete the photo as long as not used inappropriately.
I asked if I could make a more pleasing photo of her and I would send it to her if
She wanted.
She said fine she would pose for a portrait and the result is below.
I think its good to not be intimidated and just be open if people notice.
If she had said she didn't like I would have deleted in front of her eyes.
I always like candid photograph's as they are the most interesting and always
look for interesting subject matter although in this case the colour
caught my eye.
Thank you for visiting and reading.
If you like my photograph's I am on Instagram @vedrangreget
