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.
Yep!
I tried to do up close street photography but 1) I never liked being that up close, and 2) human subjects are boring to me. This eventually led to explore urban photography, which I love more.
Perhaps give urban photography a try. The way I see it, it’s exploring the living legacy of people, where the urban landscape is the subject. Not the people. Shifting to having people becoming a passing element has made me enjoy photography a lot more since I’m no longer concerned about getting in people’s faces and spaces.
