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.

A while ago I made a post on hear asking if it was OK to post pictures of people in street photography, the general consensus was yes and its legal in England.

For some context I'm building a portfolio for uni and wanted to show off all my images.

Well my frend mentioned today it was super creepy and run as I didn't have their consent.

I'm torn, it was in a public place, its completely legal, you can't really tell who thay are in most of them,

Idk, I feel super bad, but I don't wanna delete them as they really add to my uni application. All photos have some people in If you're taking street photography.

What should I do?

I am a Street Photographer, who does other types of photography to support my SP habit. I shoot who ever I want to, where I want to. When I want to. Always shoot Whatever you are interested in at any given moment. I find a lot of people feel the same as I do. Seek out SP’s on YouTube and look at their work. Does yours compare? Can you improve? Yes, Add emotion to your captures! Always have a wow factor in the photo’s you share! If it’s a bland or boring photo, nothing interesting? kill it when you cull your photos! As far as people who feel as your friend, Always remember you will outgrow many people in your lifetime! Let them go their own way. You do as you want and find new people to photograph with that build you up!!! Look for SP Manifesto’s on a google search read a few then research the style of the SP Photographer that wrote the one’s you found interesting!! Great Light, awesome locations, and the best SP photographer companions, keep me motivated!
