take pictures of you on the streets
-
most likely it will end up it the photographers portfolio. and most photographers won't comment about the people inside the pic alot usually they comment on the lighting and quality and the meaning of the pic so no worries hahas

me oladi said no.
ur interest is not my concern.

thks for the replies all

I like to take photographs of the public; like a bunch of people crossing at a traffic junction, you can capture so many natural expressions. But I have never intentionally focused on one particular person before, not in public anyway.
But if i were to do so, I would take the shot before they are even aware of it, so that their character/emotion can be preserved, THEN i would ask for permission. But that depends, if it's just random pictures (not intended for any display) and if people are just passing by, i may not catch up to them to ask permission.
But I do not think it warrants permission unless you are selling the shots. But then again it depends what sort of pictures. If it were for a screening/gallery, ofcourse you ask for permission and their names to sign off on it, because that's the right thing to do. But one should never openly take pictures of people, because it can be so awkward.

When you are in public, you are open game.
You can only object when you are in a private place, like shops, clubs, etc.
On the street, the photographer can say he is taking the lamp-post or dustbin, and you happen to be there. Don't like, don't come out.
But cannot aim, like aiming at fifi's. Not everybody wants money.
-
i go out means i muz entertain u all izit.
the lamp post & dustbin are still.
he can tk again when no ppl.

This is a perfect example of street photography, Candid

Well, they have to be able to catch up with me first.

I would use my palm to cover my eyes to spoil his shot. Happened to me a few times like on the bus; 1) people pretending to take pics of themselves while sitting infront of me, but the hp camera lens is pointing @ me 2) girl holding her hp camera lens in such a way that the len is pointing @ me I know de and I always use my palm to cover my eyes. Not to look awkward but to let people know that I know they're taking pics of me!

err, ya, it is a kind of compliment, but i would rather not have it
if this kind of thing happen i normally just turn my back to the cam and walk away, cos I don't dare to confront the guy alone
unless i hav a guy accompanying me that day, but usually i'll just pull him away also, i don't like create scene or 结外生�

Let them take lor...

if you people were walking or hanging out at town or street area, and you saw a photographer trying to take a picture of you. do you find this offensive? would you give him a pissed off look or shun him or just act like normal so as too not destroy his shot?
I'll disappear into the dark alley. The God of Gamblers taught me never to allow any pictures of myself to be taken.

sometime i stand outside my joo chiat place, a lots of tiko guys also take photos...some used cams while driving by. Well, if we do nothing wrong, why scare? me also take their photo with my handphone whilst this tiko guys walked or drive by...then i notice they walk away quickly.
-
well, I suppose you COULD ask the guy not to take the picture of you and delete it if you feel your privacy has been invaded? thats one way of doing it?

i won't even dare to approach the guy in the first place, what if he try to do something funny? moreover, he may just be using it as a tactic to talk to gals, and I definitely won't be giving him the satisfaction of talking to me
when i was sec 4 i met this guy at bishan taking my pic, i confronted him and then he tried chatting me up, telling me he'll only delete if i go out with him for lunch. my 6th sense tell me this guy was not right and i quickly walked away, and he followed me and i was very scared cos I was alone. I told him i'll scream and call police if he stilll follow me, luckily he stopped after that, and I practically ran home
to gals: if you are alone never confront the person, stay safe and walk away
-
thats a good piece of advice. :)
-
there is always an option to go and shout for help? shout that ur being harrassed! i think plenty of people will come to help
-
I will scream!!! :X And get help!

I personally do not like people who take photographs because such acts is an intrusion of privacy and personal space. I think it depends on the situation and the setting. There are some cases which are more annoying than others. It might be Ok to tolerate some others.

I once took a photo of a trishaw uncle with permission. He gladly let me take his photos and even strike me a pose by putting his legs on the bicycle handle and relax.
I then drew the picture of him together with backgrounds of old torn buildings for my project.
As for me, I'm more open to public for taking my photos. As long as its not offensive. Eg.. took photos of my forgotten-to-zipped pants. Opps....
