I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the most fearless street photographer I know.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not doing anything wrong<\/h2>\n

First realize, street photography is not evil, or morally wrong\/\u00e2\u20ac\u0153bad\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

As a visual artist, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re making art through street photography.<\/p>\n

Once you can conquer the fear that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing something wrong, you will be less fearful in street photography.<\/p>\n

2. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re adding joy to the lives of others<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In street photography, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fear \u00e2\u20ac\u201d because I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fear upsetting people. I know that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m making them look good, and I often compliment my subjects with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153tactful flattery<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

3. Try to get rejected<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I know for myself, my biggest fear is not getting people to get angry at me in street photography. Rather, I fear getting rejected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nobody likes to get rejected. It sucks, and hurts. By having someone reject you, it is like them telling you that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not good enough\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Getting rejected wounds our ego.<\/p>\n
