When I started I was using a Canon 360 HS point n shoot, then I nabbed my mom's Canon AE-1 Program, and eventually bought a Nikon D5500. I swap between the Nikon and Canon film camera depending on my mood or what I'm trying to shoot. I find people are FAR less freaked out if I use the film camera. Idk why that is.
It's usually men, they get agro if they notice they're in frame (or might be). I've been confronted with aggressoin a few times, but it's never ended badly. Just gets my heart racing aha.
After posting in this thread, I felt a sudden urge of courage and grabbed my film camera and went downtown and to the pier. I actually managed to get some nice shots with actual people in them! (We'll see when I develop them ha) I even chatted up a guy I noticed taking photos with his DSLR and flash. And some normal people too, idk why this thread OP (you?) made inspired me so much, but I'm thankful for it. Really helped build some confidence.
Have you had any trouble doing street photography before? Do you usually ask people for photos of them? Or to do a portrait?
>inb4 I must look like a creep/ am ugly or dress fukt. I'm actually fit and friendly looking, in my early 20s. I'm just anxious with a camera
