disclaimer
If you have found yourself in a picture and don’t like it, please contact me and I will take it down as soon as possible. If you also want an explanation for what I do and why I do it, then please continue reading. Why I do street photography occasionally without asking permission
My photography explores the human condition. As soon as people are aware of a camera their behaviour and
their facial expressions change, because they become self-conscious. Suddenly their behaviour isn’t real anymore, their actions not honest and the moment is gone. For this reason I don’t ask permission sometimes beforehand and often don’t make myself noticed, since then my pictures wouldn’t be what they were: A documentary of human behaviour in public. I also don’t ask permission afterwards, because most of the time it’s just not feasible. Everyone is in a hurry, pictures get taken in passing and until I see the pictures in full resolution I won’t know whether I got anything that even deserves mentioning. I also love to meet people and take their portrait if they will allow me - so far I have taken hundreds! I can be contacted at [email protected]
