..in shooting street, you may sometimes encounter someone who really doesn’t want to have his/her photo taken.. what do you do when you encounter someone like that? i personally don’t know what to do.. take this one, for instance.. she was just trying to take a snap of the guy’s dog but he went ballistic on her.. tsk3..
..on to the shot, this was taken by wifey on a picnic in the park, there was a mayoral candidate beside us campaigning while lounging under a tree, talking to locals and giving away stuff..
..view this in mono..

Une belle capture de cet enfant déjà attiré par la politique 🙂
Hej hej,
back from holidays and right into your question: For me it’s easy. If someone doesn’t want to be photographed I won’t take the photo. I can perfectly understand people who don’t want a stranger to go for their image. It get’s complicated when you are shooting an event (say wedding) and some of the guests don’t want their photo taken. Not sure how to solve this…
A mayor who cares. That is one unimaginative line. Love the kid in this shot. The light is just perfect
An excellent mayoral candidate!! Love the light in this image!!
You nailed this shot…great reflection of the light off the white sandwich board sign. Fantastic.
cute one. i like the reflection from the sign on the kid.
Wonderful contrast between the child and the message board! Assume there is a balloon attached to the sign and that is what he is after… 🙂
Difficult question you give us, normally people goes away, and leave your focus point, but in US you can legally photograph everyone on public ground. We find people not knowing they are photographed to make the best images, those who don’t want to have their image taken often turns out not worth having either… And in Texas – well, it is often better to leave your right and shoot someone else 😉
Excellent detail, colors, dof, lighting (the reflection on kid’s face is amazing!). A great image.
Beautiful capture. Light is super !
Beautiful street capture, the lighting is perfect.
A beautiful use of reflected light on this youngster’s face. Impressive image.
perfect reflection, wonderful portrait!
Ha almost makes it seem like the baby is running for mayor! Cool shot. great use of light.
I’ll be that mayor may like this picture lol the mayor who cares,, lol the baby seems to think so!! great shot
This is a really nice shot. I like the clarity and the subject very much. I wouldn’t mind bringing out the shadows a little, but it’s really nice. That dog photo story was scary. I’m petrified to take pictures of people and it takes a lot out of me to do it. That story made it worse!
cute kid. love the capture!
Smashing lighting with that reflection from the sign.
looks like john finan gets his vote automatically, great shot!
aw! that is mucho cute !
beautiful effect of the light on her as well. great shot!
beautiful lighting and a great scene. excellent photo !
Great light and shadows. Very nice.
Hope he cares about children too, this one is about to take out his sign. Such a lovely and adorable shot Rian, like how the light is directed here.
Priceless. Wifey did a great job, Rian. 🙂
give him a crayon!
I like this a lot, the kid going for the balloon oblivious to the message from the mayor who cares. Cool. As far as street shots go I prefer to capture people unaware, makes better picture I think, and less trouble too… unless they find out and come after you (not happened yet though).
Ultimate! What beautiful light on his face you have captured! Gr8 shot!
it looks like there’s light coming from that sign which falls in this kid’s face 🙂 Isn’t he a bit young to be a mayor? 😉
This is my 2nd comment to this pic. I can’t take my eyes off this image:-)
Great work here, Rian! The face is wonderfully lighted.. Tis is also a very good “documentary” image!
