A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Photographing Strangers in Public (alien.top)

I was in a touristy (or at least tourist friendly) part of irrelevant a few weeks ago and a stranger started photographing me as I was eating street food. After a few shots I winked at him to let him know it was fine but it got me thinking:

What is the etiquette for photographing strangers on public? Is it acceptable to photograph random people without permission? Is it okay if you’re photographing enough people in one picture? Does being a professional change the ethics? Does it depend on where you are? Would love to know ow your thoughts.
