I tried my hand at doing street photography again after some time, sticking to chest shooting. Second one using a goon's (forgot his name) Kodachrome LR preset. Thanks!

You'll learn to cope with it. I've once had a woman nearly breathing down my neck because I was taking pictures of her. Only thing it was with my 50mm and she was about 50 metres away from me when I took the picture. What helps is walking a fast pace and only bringing up the camera when you see something, spend a few seconds taking several pictures, smile and walk further before they say anything.

Pompous Rhombus posted:I've found any overtly weird camera basically exempts you from the "being approached by random assholes" clause of street photography. TLR, press camera, whatever. From Vice Magazine interview with Stephen Shore Did being so conspicuous affect the photos? The year before American Surfaces, in ’71, I was using a small 35 mm. I had hair to my shoulders and looked sort of like a hippie, and every now and then I’d be photographing in a neighborhood and some resident would call the police. The cops would ask me, “What are you doing?” and every now and then I was told to get out of the neighborhood. Once I started using a view camera that never happened. That the camera is so conspicuous gives it even greater license. The extreme examples of this are two works from a series that I’ve never shown before—New York City photographs that I did with an 8x10 of people interacting on the street. And I’d never before been more invisible. I would stand at 72nd and Broadway or 52nd and 5th with this big camera, and people would just walk around me. I photographed people at crosswalks, people hailing a cab, and I’d be six feet away from them taking their picture with an 8x10 camera, and no one would be paying any attention to me.
