Steet Photography and People
I was considering today the ethics of photographing people on street photowalks. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to just forget all the stresses of thinking about whether a photo was ethical or not, and just take the photo. But, in our digital age where a photo can go viral or be shared to hundreds and thousands of people in an instant, perhaps we should be more cognizant of what we post or publish.
I’m not exactly sure about how I feel about the topic and I guess writing about it helps me to make some headway in the right direction. I guess if it feels wrong, it probably is, and if you have to think too much about it, then that’s also a red flag.
I’ll read more on the topic and gather my thoughts on this.
