I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter if you shoot photos with or without permission\u00e2\u20ac\u201d there is always a chance that your subject won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like being photographed, they might not the photo you shoot of them, or they might not like you sharing the photo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that street photography is artwork that requires you to use other people (strangers). The whole process of street photography is risky\u00e2\u20ac\u201d you risk upsetting others, you risk physical or mental attacks from your subjects; but this is what makes street photography interesting and enjoyable. Because street photography is so hard, it makes us street photographers more unique and special. Not everyone can shoot street photography \u00e2\u20ac\u201d we should pride ourselves on the difficulty and danger of our artistic expression. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are no ultimate ethics in street photography\u00e2\u20ac\u201d you just dictate your own code of ethics for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":127821,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/eric-kim-photography-picks-v5-243-1-scaled.jpg?fit=4032%2C5376&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128165"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":128166,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128165\/revisions\/128166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
