To be more specific as time passed I’ve noticed a shift in the way I approach street photography, in the earlier days I’d be more open to photograph people on the streets and while I still do, I’ve adjusted to taking photos from more of a distance or ideally from angles where their faces aren’t directly in the frame. Feels a bit weird at times because you’d think that as you shoot more you get comfortable with these scenarios. Maybe it’s a form of growth to respect peoples personal space, a bit more but I also just prefer that look. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to handle street photography but curious to hear what others have experienced over time.
I haven’t changed, but I have always preferred taking photos where you can’t identify people. Like this:

Yo ! That’s Bobby !
Yeah, that’s cool, I always loved Moriyama for doing similar in a much more violent and grungy way. That’s how you really capture a scene
This seems like a good approach to me. I’ve largely stopped including strangers in my photos, but when I do they’re usually unrecognizable, and if there’s a chance they could be recognized, I make sure it’s not a situation that could hurt their dignity at all
