I'm very "obvious" about my method of street photography. I don't hide what I am doing and I'm not sneaky about it. I engage people in conversation and tell them what I am doing. And even at my age, I can still run faster than anyone who gets aggressive with me. 😢😊
I’m in NYC for the San Gernnaro festival. I had an upset man come up to me and tell me I can’t photograph him without his permission. I showed him my images. I never photographed him. He became loud and aggressive. A young couple came to my defense. He threatened to call the police. I told him that would be a good idea and he left. That night I took some photos in a subway car. Two young men took exception with my behavior. One tried to steal my camera. The other acknowledged I can take photos on the street but not on private property. He refused to understand that the subway is public property. I got off the train at the next stop. I’ve never had this happen in NYC. Three men on one day. Unbelievable. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
You did nothing wrong. Remain calm, positive and keep taking photos. Above all, never take it personal. A lot of misunderstandings result from lack of facts and information. Thanks for sharing your personal experience.
Hi ! Try to stay calm, relaxed and approachable. Most people, even in Germany , are understanding when you tell them why you made a photo of them. People always want to know "Why?" here. Any why is better than no why, so to speak. So tell them while smiling you are practising photography, and if they get angry (they mostly don´t, haven´t had serious problems for a long time here) just delete the shot. And please don´t let them take your joy of doing Street Photography! Do your thing and try to ignore the stares. Street Photography is getting more and more popular, also here in Germany. One day they will know what you are doing ;-)
@@streetphotographyguy ich habe gemerkt, dass es auch von der Stadt abhängt. Gerade im Ruhrgebiet, Essen, Dortmund, Bochum sind die Leute besonders misstrauisch. Richtung Rheinland in Düsseldorf sieht es wieder relativ entspannt aus.
Moin...... 😊 Ick fotografiere nicht, um was auszustellen, ick bastel auch nich an nem Buch rum. Ick mach die Fotos einzig für mich. Um diese schnelllebige Zeit etwas zu entschleunigen, die Zeit in diesem Moment anzuhalten. Streetfotografie (mit Menschen) ist nichts anderes, als Momentaufnahmen aufzunehmen und diese dann festzuhalten. Nicht für die Ewigkeit (das können nur die wenigsten, "großen" Namen der Fotografie), aber eben für einen längeren Zeitraum. Meine unmaßgebliche Meinung 😉 Ansonsten......wie immer, n gutes Video^^

When I am out in Germany doing street photos people start staring at me with distrust and even anger. It fells like I am publicly committing a crime.
That’s because you are. But hey, politicians do it all the time and get away with it … 😂
