Today is May 2022, and I just did the same in the empty streets of Shanghai due to its massive covid lockdown. And then I saw this video of yours. What a coincidence=) I am a complete beginner in photography but your videos are very inspirational.
The ethics say no. If someone doesn’t want their photo taken, either don’t or delete it. If you’re asking if it’s legal, it is as it’s public property.
Cool photowalk Faizal. You got some great shots :) It's funny when people dress up to impress people and they don't want their photo taken. Oh well haha. I can't believe your not using a strap. Makes me nervous watching.
Question...is it okay to post/take pictures of people if they asked for no photos? Great pictures but if i asked someone not to take a picture of me i would hope they wouldn’t.
It is okay or not that will all depend on the artist. At the end of the day was it was him who decided to take the picture. There’s nothing wrong about it. And you’ll have to live all covered up so you won’t have any record of you walking in the streets. There’s cameras everywhere and you don’t even notice.
@@gabrielthomas9482 The law has nothing to do with proper behavior. To give street photographers a negative image is not right. The law in use of photos taken on the street only limits use for commercial sales, as in taking a photo in front of Macy's, then selling it to Macy's as a typical customer in a commercial. That would be illegal. Not sure what a bad situation means -- are you saying to make someone look like the unattractive, immoral, doing something illegal -- maybe so. That would be defamation of character. Do take shots on the street, as there is nothing wrong in this, at least in USA at this moment in time, but if someone signals or indicates disapproval in any form, do NOT publish or use the photo, if you wish to be positive image for the street shooters of this world. There are many, many,many things which are legal to do in this world, but that has nothing to do with what is correct. You could have the morals of an ally cat and be in no trouble with the law. Take care, and happy shooting! -Loren
Loren Schwiderski I honestly think you’re taking it too far. Whether or his approval or not, there’s no harm in the picture. He’s not going to find out and sue him or something. It’s a record of him walking in the streets. That’s all. There’s nothing to do with morals or “good image for street shooters in the world”. The street photographers has always been in trouble for what they do. Always. Nowadays people just want to be nice to everyone and “It’s not okay to take a person picture in the street”. It’s an art form, people. That’s how it has been since the beginning and it will be forever. It’s not going to take too long until somebody starts calling street photography “Harassment” 🤦🏻♂️

Loren Schwiderski I knew you’ll get to the point of calling the act of taking a photo of someone in the streets “Harassment” it is not. It has nothing to do with civility neither. As you might now, back in the days street photographers have been documenting all kind of situations in the street and we all know that it never crossed the line of harassment and that most of those people wouldn’t want their photo taken. As a person who practices the art you’re a witness of life. You must capture it as it is. Everybody gets into this new sensitive wave about it just because there’s social media involved. I know there will be situations where the subject will approach and talk to you about what you’re doing and it depends on the photographer to explain why he’s doing it. The point is that in this particular case he’s not doing any harm at all and I think you’re making a big deal from something that it doesn’t need it. Comes to think that even now is way more private than before because people wear a mask in the street. Who can identify them? It is just a body with some clothes. You clearly has a valid point and it might make you feel good doing street photography that way but it doesn’t have to affect the art form as a whole, maybe you’re not familiar with the work of legends like Bruce Gilden , who never asks for permission and it will keep his capture no matter what and is one of the top Magnum photographers of all time. His work and the way he does it in the street might trigger your senses, let me tell you and that’s why is so important, because it makes you feel something. So, I know it doesn’t make you feel comfortable the situation in this video but stop demonizing it. It doesn’t hurt and is the style this guy wants. That’s all. Not violations of privacy, not moral “involved”, no harassment. Just plain a simple street photography. Good afternoon! Sorry for my long answer but this is a very interesting topic and I feel that this whole “politically correct” new wave is getting into us really bad.
Dude said no photos... the lady echoed that... and you still took that many and talked to her like he "deserved" to get his photo taken. That, and the comments here, are kind of messed up. Respect your subjects, which means respecting when they don't want you to capture them.
Nobody is disrespecting him. It’s not that he got a photo of him naked or in a compromising situation. He’s just walking around like that and that’s it. A capture like that doesn’t hurt anybody. Just a reminder, it’s completely legal to take photographs of people in the streets of NY. We gotta stop being so “sensitive”. There’s not damage in this situation at all.
@@Hstatic I really don't want to litigate this online, but if legality is the only measure we have of whether something is right, that feels like a problem. Basic premise - someone asks you not to do something, don't do it.
I get where you’re coming from. In most scenarios when someone respectfully ask to not have their photo taken I won’t or if I already took the photo, I won’t share it publicly. I try to be very cognizant of people’s own privacy when it comes to street photography, it’s why a lot of my images have anonymity to the people who are in them such as the one we’re discussing. It’s also why I never take photos of the homeless. This case was different. For one, there was a clear sense to me he didn’t want his photo taken because he didn’t want me to benefit off of the fact he knows he looks so cool. If you’ve ever been to new york city you know about people that dress up funky and ask for your money when you get a photo taken with them and yell at you if you’re a photographer take a photo of them. I’m not saying he’s one of those people (could be idk) but I got that energy from him especially from the way he said “no photos” when I appeared to have no intention of taking any photos of him by looking in the opposite direction. As a street photographer and shooting in nyc a lot, you start to get a better sense of how different people act when it comes to having their photo taken. I chose to still show these photos because he still had anonymity. I don’t show his face at all. If his face was visible and we knew who he was, I would not show it. Kind of a really long explanation, but I feel like it was needed since theres a lot of people upset about it.
Hypersensitivity is a disease that will destroy all fragments of creativity. It's no wonder why the greatest photographers and artists existed in the 20th C. Today's people go around looking for things to be offended about. It's disgusting.
Tip. Not every video has to have music, why not instead record the ambient sounds and use that instead. Vs canned elevator music. It will help viewer engagement and repeat visits.
Man I think you focused too much on people that you missed too many great pictures there. I get it if it's your style and all but from time to time try to get out of it. You will explore many amazing things and opportunities. Great work anyway !
"Its SCREAMING take my photo" haha
Dude goes out looking like The Great Gatsby "no photos" XD
The ego gon' do what the ego gon' do
When you said man in the crazy outfit, I thought you were referring to the person in the dress lol
LOLLL me too!
What a sweet lady! And the pink man, indeed scream to photograph him. Nice video as always
Today is May 2022, and I just did the same in the empty streets of Shanghai due to its massive covid lockdown. And then I saw this video of yours. What a coincidence=) I am a complete beginner in photography but your videos are very inspirational.
This was a really soothing video to watch 🙂

Very relaxing Video! Where is your camera bag from? stay safe out there
It's called the Bowery from Ona bags!
Do you turn your camera on and off between shoots?
Sooooo what are the ethics there if the dude says don’t shoot me?
I’m a street photographer in NYC.
You are allowed to shoot anyone, anytime on public property.
The real question presents itself as should you.
@@Zapruderfilm1963 that is what he's asking.
Yes, you can and no you do not. And this is the second time the photo was posted - not impressed. -Loren
Madison County Sound Labs even if they say not too and you’re pointing your camera at them??
The ethics say no. If someone doesn’t want their photo taken, either don’t or delete it. If you’re asking if it’s legal, it is as it’s public property.
What iPhone case are you using currently?
Dude gets the Leica out then is like, lol later bitches✌🏻
Cool photowalk Faizal. You got some great shots :) It's funny when people dress up to impress people and they don't want their photo taken. Oh well haha. I can't believe your not using a strap. Makes me nervous watching.
So... people "deserve" to get their photos taken depending on how they're dressed. Cool attitude.
Or... maybe... that guy dressed for himself?
Question...is it okay to post/take pictures of people if they asked for no photos? Great pictures but if i asked someone not to take a picture of me i would hope they wouldn’t.
Legal code yes - moral code no. He'll sort this out someday. Just new to life.
It is okay or not that will all depend on the artist. At the end of the day was it was him who decided to take the picture. There’s nothing wrong about it. And you’ll have to live all covered up so you won’t have any record of you walking in the streets. There’s cameras everywhere and you don’t even notice.
Is this 35mm 1.4?
Wearing all black is cool, and hot at the same time lol
3:17 Alan Schaller grabbed one in that street with the building on the left
"no photo" ;)
Dose the x100v have a zoom?
No
Fucking love it - I would sell my kids for a Contax.
You have the right to take people in photos when this is not bad for them. Its the law !
The guys who said no photos wasnt in a Bad situation so its ok
