Photojournalism ...

Alright NT, I have to a project for one of my classes ... I'm not really going to go in detail about what it's about but I need opinions/experience.

It involves me taking pictures publicly of people ... in the city, walking, sitting, random places ... just basically a "journal" of people.

But how do I go about this? Just take the pictures? Ask first?

I don't want to seem creepy, lol.

Wouldn't your questions be answered more appropriately by your teacher? Not NT who doesn't have the specific knowledge of your assignment?

No ...

My professor just basically told us to "do what we want" ... not specific at all, she also said it depends.

I just want "real world" answers, not something that just my Professor thinks.

damn i can't find the paper

but basically check this out

http://digital-photograph...etter-candid-photography

i used to have this paper, which basically helped u incase u got into legal trouble, if they called cops on you

if u are going to try to get a pic without their permisson, dont use flash =\ worse give away
the problem i have with asking for their permission, is that its no longer natural... because then they know theyre being photographed and act diff..
try shooting from far away too.. then cropping ur pics

i love taking pics of random people
