Sometimes they participate and other times they don't. <br /><br />The thing I am against is treating people as objects and photographing them without recognising their humanity and without paying them due respect.<br /><br />It's a bit abstract but it is the attitude of the photographer that this blog is about.Beyond the obvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698822210164295613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-89055047936987511152010-04-27T15:48:00.042+00:002010-04-27T15:48:00.042+00:00Chuck all street photography?

You just can't always ask permission & then pose the person & expect to see that person<br />unselfconsciously in the semi-raw as you do on the street. Gentlemanliness is essential in life. But there are exceptions to this. The true-hearted photographer after true faces in the wild is exempt....And what's the point if photographers & their models aren't cooperative with & understanding of one another? This happens?

You simply can't get certain wonderful sorts of photos asking permission. A lot of the great photos ever taken are shots of people who weren't telegraphed about the presence of a sneaky deadeye cameraman. I'm not interested in offending anybody. I'm interested in getting good photos from the stream of candid life unaffected by set-ups. And surely it's taken for granted that a model & a photographer work together amicably & cooperatively & understandingly. What's the point otherwise?Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571996148972232158noreply@blogger.com
