nobody will actually do anything unless you go up to actual crazy people, and even they have the empathy to not murder or attack you on the spot.
start by taking pictures from a distance, and then get closer. you WILL make people uncomfortable, you can't deny this fact. people are pussybitches everywhere you go, afraid of being seen. photography as an art allows you to confront people to this fact. it's the only art in which the process actively scares people. this is why the dynamic of street art is so interesting. you are going to get judgy looks from people, people will be afraid of you, but you can't let that stop you from pursuing your art. if you have a real passion for photography you WILL break through the social anxiety and fears involved. it will make you stronger aswell.
every person who is impacted by your taking pictures will feel totally happy/normal 5 minutes after the encounter. if they feel uncomfortable in a second they won't later on. it's not a big fucking deal at all, fuck pedestrians.
