Really enjoyed your street photography! It’s one of my favorite photography forms. I wish I was good at it. I always seem to capture people looking at my weirdly as if the are thinking “Hey, I didn’t give my permission for you to take my picture.”
So many great shots here. I love the woman in the book shop, the guy walking in the angled light across the checkered floor, the construction workers, and the picture of the child with the teddy bear, looking backward while mom is distracted on her phone.
Hey, Jayna, sorry for the late reply! Street photography can definitely be intimating, especially at first. I find it that the best way to deal with it is to focus on your attitude. First of all, have an idea why you are making the photo so you can explain if necessary. Maybe you saw an interesting moment, nice background etc. If you are at ease and positive and smiling, people will not mind, they might be curious or flattered. :) As long as you don't bother them for long, you have nothing to worry about. It helps when you are in a bigger city where people are used to cameras everywhere.
