When we are out shooting street photography, it is often difficult to find time to talk to the subjects we capture, as life often moves at a very fast pace.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.stevemccurry.com\/main.php\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stevemccurry.com\/main.php\">Steve McCurry<\/a>, one of the most pivotal photographers of the 21st century, shares the same notion. McCurry has traveled the world and captured subjects in very intimate settings- and one of his pieces of advice is to approach and talk to people (even for a minute) before taking photos of them. I feel that this is a very important piece of advice to take, especially when visiting foreign countries. The video shown above is a feature put together by Phaidon, which can be <a title=\"Steve McCurry One Minute Master Class\" href=\"http:\/\/uk.phaidon.com\/agenda\/photography\/video\/2011\/october\/26\/steve-mccurrys-one-minute-masterclass\/\">viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although I still feel that street photography should be done without permission and candidly, I see no problem interacting with your subjects before, during, or even after you shoot them.<\/p>\n<h2>Portraits by Steve McCurry<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=pakistan.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/pakistan.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits3.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits6.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits7.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits9.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits15.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits15.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/?action=view&amp;current=stevemccurryportraits16.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i1192.photobucket.com\/albums\/aa322\/erickimphotography\/stevemccurry\/stevemccurryportraits16.jpg?w=1180\" alt=\"Steve McCurry Portrait\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Thanks to <a title=\"http:\/\/500px.com\/ianpett\" href=\"http:\/\/500px.com\/ianpett\">Ian Pettigrew<\/a> for the tip, and let us know how much you like to interact with your subjects when shooting by leaving a comment below!\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite quotes by Alfred Eisenstaedt is &#8220;It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter&#8221;.
