Things to take care while photographing in Public While shooting in public places one needs to be careful as people may consider you as someone who is infringing on their privacy. Not many people like the idea of being photographed by a stranger. The first and foremost thing that you as a photographer need to take care is the size of your camera. If you are shooting with a tiny camera people may feel threatened and you may not be able to get your desired poses and hence the desired results will not be at par. If you are using a large camera with a tripod people will be more comfortable while you click them. A Tiny camera may cause people to cast doubts on your photography motives. Make sure you have the permission to click in busy crowded city walks and tourist attractions if you are shooting with a large camera. Make sure you have examples of your work along with you whenever you are shooting in public. This will help you build the comfort level of your subjects with you. They will have an idea of what exactly you are doing at that particular spot with your equipment and all their doubts will be put to rest. Thus carrying examples of your past work is going to help you build confidence in your subjects. Along with these examples make sure you have your business card along with you. Distribute these business cards to people whom you interact with. This is again going to act as another confidence builder. Make sure you ask for help from people whenever you are out there shooting in public this will help you in turning your potential trouble makers your friends and help you in capturing the best moments without any trouble. Remember you can change a relationship by asking for help. Make sure that you know the reason behind a particular person’s uncomforts to be clicked or the reason why he is stopping you from clicking a particular photograph. Once you know the reason it will be easy for you to diffuse the situation and turn the tables in your favor. Make sure you have an escape plan once you are trespassing. Its you who is breaking the law for your photography needs. Dress as a tourist this will give you an excuse even in your local area to have access to the most protected parts of the town. Believe it or not but its true. Using a decoy can also be of big help there are people who ask their own team to pose but photograph something else in the background or at a different angle. This can be easily done with the use of a telephoto lens. You need to work overtime on your camera skills as you may not always get your comfortable position while shooting n public.
