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.

    This is how I’ve always approached it. I don’t like showing faces. I think it takes away from the photo. The mystery of anonymous figures is way more interesting as a composition tool imo. Also a respect thing for me too. Street photographers like Bruce Gilden blow my f***ing mind with how obnoxious and inconsiderate they are.
