People photography

-When in a different and you want to take pictures of people, it is best to know the culture of the country. Read about their culture or ask from their travel authority.

-As much as possible refrain from using telephoto lens. it makes people paranoid. You don't want a person with a big camera following you around right?



-Always smile, a smile takes away fear from people around you. And of course you appear as a friend to them.

-Try and talk to the person you want to take picture of, by doing this the subject gets relaxed and you will have more opportunities for different shots.

-Take candids. who knows, results can be amazing! Just be sure your shutter speed is fast enough to capture those moments.

-Take their photo while doing a local ritual or ceremony. This is an automatic story teller about the person and the country.




-Take photos of people in public places. This is very interesting because this will show how majority of the people are in their country in terms of culture.
