I completely agree about photographing someone’s face as opposed to the back of their head. I think people are more nervous to take frontal shots of people today considering how paranoid the world has become. I can tell you where I live in rural Australia that I have been pulled up by people and questioned as to why I am taking photographs of boring inanimate objects in the streets. I normally take my camera with me when I take my dog for a walk and only last week. A lady questioned why I had a camera while taking a dog for a walk and she commented that it was extremely creepy that I was walking the streets with a camera, figure that one out

Some people just won't get it. My usual strategy is to just be as kind as possible... which works sometimes but not always haha

A quote from Henry Carroll's "Read this if you want to take great photographs of people" (the title is a bit tongue-in-cheek) that has reframed my approach with street and pictures of people, in general, is: "Dont take photos of people. Take photos about people."

10000 Percent Yes

Regardless of your genre your point about going out and enjoying yourself is so important in my opinion. And, like you said, shoot what you find interesting; not what you think the IG algorithm will like. Thanks for the tips!

[@huntercreatesthings]

Glad you enjoyed!!!

For anybody that haven't yet, I highly recommend picking up Matt Stuart's book "Think like a street photographer", it's a great photobook and an entertaining read!

[@huntercreatesthings]

100%! There's so much to learn in there.

I have a question for you: I agree that photos from people’s faces are way more interesting, than from the back of their heads. However, I live in Germany and here you are actually not even allowed to take photos of people without their consent (or without at least informing them right after) if they are identifiable, even in public spaces (and of course you can’t publish them anywhere either). This is not an empty threat either and photographers have been sued for publishing such pictures. I think this is a big shame and hampers creativity a lot. Do you have any advice how to make street photography work in such a restrictive environment?

[@huntercreatesthings]

That's a great question - and one I'm probably not equipped to answer without a degree in German law... but there is a great video on Samuel Streetwise's channel where he discusses this in detail th-cam.com/video/az8dlaTqhgQ/w-d-xo.html
