I used to take pictures of people more surreptitiously – go for a more journalistic “shoot first, ask later” approach. I guess I thought that was more authentic or something. But after some uncomfortable encounters that made me question everything, I started asking first and that felt so much better. You can still get something honest and I enjoy the sense of connection. People are genuinely touched by the request and the whole exchange feels generous, even when they say no.
