Response to How To Do Street Photography?

from Lorna Simpson (lornasimpson1@hotmail.com)
Hi

The first time I did this was in Savannah, Georgia. I spotted a homeless person sitting beside a huge waste bin and I politely approached him and asked if I could take some pictures of him for a project I was doing. He agreed and out of kindness I offerend him $10. He did not mind in the slightest even before I offered him the money. I guess no one really minds having their photograph taken and if you manage to find the courage to approach them then you could get exactly the picture you are wanting. Another occassion in Savannah I spotted two little girls dancing to a street entertainer who was playing the accordian. I began to smile back at them as if I was enjoying their dancing. I then moved closer and began snapping away, continuing to laugh with them and this made them perform even more to the camera and smile directly at it with their faces alight with enjoyment!
