You need them to be in their most natural state to capture a very natural feel to it, but for photographers, do we have some code of conduct to adhere to?
When you snap people, do you ask for permission or just snap then quickly run off?
same experience as jlkk76 bro,
i was at boat quay and the river taxi uncle was cursing at me
and demanded i pay him " copyright fees " for shooting his face
i just walked off

no, i just pretend i never snapped them
haha! that's kewl man... i think i'll try that!:bsmilie:
Edit : hey, here's an idea of a posed photo. Get a really fierce looking model, and have him / her walking towards the camera as if going to beat up the photographer.
Strangely I only take people pictures when I'm overseas. Even then I will employ ninja techniques. So yeah.. I'm kinda a wuss! :embrass:
Perhaps we should step back and think about the ethics of the situation - if people don't want to be photographed, should we go ahead and do so anyway because we want to?
