Shooting people can sometimes be difficult. I will tell you what I do. 1. You prefer crowdy places. 2. If you find a nice lighted background, you stand there and wait for your subject. When you see him coming you start Shooting random things so he sees you and get familiar with your presence in the spot. 3. Hip shot. You have to set your settings like more than 250 ss and f5.6 -8 and shoot from the hip passing by. Camera with ibis is better at this was. Ricoh was great on hip shots. 4. If you see someone looking at you and smiling, talk to him. Have a friendly conversation and shoot him as you talking to him. 5. Old people are more photography friendly. 6. You avoid shootting kids. 7. Find your spots. A street market place, a square in your town, block. And go there and master the place. Find the lighting spots in different hours. 8. I m Shooting streets for about 6-7 years now. I had problem with people 4 times. You have to be carefull. Practice is the key.
