CHRIS PORSZ – STREET PHOTOGRAPHER

Candid or posed that is the question.

 A photographer  friend  takes mainly buildings and architecture but not candid as he feels people have a right to know they have had their picture taken and will be  published round the world.  I was struck by a pang of guilt and questioned what I do and why. Has he got a point.?  I have  posted  this candid  grab shot  to illustrate  there are some pictures that can never be posed. Does not make it right but  would you or I want  to be snapped.  I like to think I would never post pictures that humiliate or mock. But that is a thin dividing line and personal opinion. What do you think?

Thank you Paulo and Joseph for your kind comments and encouragement. You are right Joseph,street photography would be the poorer if it were all posed with no candids.
