Photography podcast #129 talks about how to photograph strangers in public so that your images are stronger and more interesting. I offer up 4 easy tips on how to make this process easier so that your shots have more punch at the end. These photographs were mostly taken over a period of 1 week. In the podcast I discuss the differences between when the subject is aware and unaware of the photographer’s presence.

Bonjour Marko,
I will go in french. Je viens de découvrir vos podcasts et votre site internet.
Croyez-vous faire d’autres podcasts bientôt? Vous avez des sujets et invités très intéressants.
J’habite aussi à Montréal et j’aime faire de la photo de rue. J’avais l’impression qu’au Québec on devait demander l’autorisation à la personne avant de la photographier. J’ajouterais une autorisation écrite pour publier la photo via internet (facebook, instagram ou un site personnel, etc) ou sur papier (journal, magazine, livre). Ceci depuis le fameux arrêt Duclos. Pourtant en écoutant votre podcast 129 How to Photograph Strangers, vous dites le contraire. Je veux bien vous croire et sortir faire des photos de strangers on the street right now. Je comprend que vous n’êtes pas avocat mais avez-vous de l’information qui confirme que c’est ok de photographier en publique et publier sans autorisation? Merci you can répondre en anglais. Svp continuer votre bon travailDominique
