I’m a casual photographer with a love for street photography. I enjoy capturing everyday moments, the small details, and the unexpected stories that unfold in the streets. For me, it’s less about perfection and more about the vibe, the atmosphere, and the realness of life as it happens.
My ethical rules of street photography
Respect dignity
– Avoid photographing people in ways that humiliate, stereotype, or objectify them.
– Don’t make vulnerable groups (children, unhoused people, sick or distressed individuals) into “subjects” unless you have their consent or a strong journalistic reason.
Consent when appropriate
– Legally, you might not need it, but ethically, asking can build trust.
– If someone notices and clearly feels uncomfortable, consider putting the camera down.
Do no harm
– Think about whether publishing a photo could cause embarrassment, danger, or exploitation for the subject.
Context matters
– A photo of someone yawning, crying, or angry might tell a story — but ask yourself if it’s fair to freeze them in that one moment.
